PREFATORY. 

Dear Classmates : 

Your Secretary presents this Record to you, a little belated, 
indeed, but all the more complete for that. Whatever errors 
it may contain will be overlooked by an indulgent Class, who 
may rest assured that everything possible in the circumstances 
has been done to make it full and exact. In some instances it 
embodies much of the material of the last Record, and in this 
regard owes a great deal to my predecessor in office, the la- 
mented Burroughs. 

It has seemed best to use but one alphabet, including all 
who were connected with the Class, the dead as well as the 
living, whether they traveled with us all the academic way or 
not. Seven have died during the past ten years : Adams, Bur- 
roughs, E. Condit, Crane, Sloan, Speer and Van Voorhees. 
Perhaps Andrews should be added to this list ; all trace of him 
has been lost. Six names, not given in the last Record, have 
been added to the Class roll, viz.: Carstensen, Comstock, 
Dayton, Grundy, Smith, and J. K. Wilson. 

As you will see, there are grandfathers in the Class, all 
honor to them; and there are still thirteen pertinacious bach- 
elors. That is the best adjective that occurs to the Secretary, 
although it may not accurately describe the situation in each 
particular case. 



PREFATORY 

You will be glad to read the history of the Class Boy, who 
cherishes a warm regard for his father's classmates. 

It is a matter of regret that all did not respond to the re- 
quest for a photograph, but enough did to show the world that 
'73 is an unusually good-looking Class, as well as " the best 
Class that ever graduated from me College," in the words of 
our beloved McCosh. 

May God bless you all, your children and your children's 
children. 

Sincerely yours, 

JOSEPH H. DULLES, 

Secretary. 
Princeton, N. J., October 14, 1903.

REUNION AFTER THIRTY YEARS 

THIS was altogether a notable affair. The Class offi- 
cers, as a committee of arrangements, added to their 
number McLanahan and Henry van Dyke, and 
decided upon a much more elaborate reunion scheme than 
had been attempted heretofore. Instead of a simple meet- 
ing at a Class dinner, which has contented the Class 
hitherto, it was determined to make the reunion cover 
the entire Commencement week. The response to the 
first circular sent out announcing the general plan was 
such as to promise success, and the details were carried 
out. A house, 32 Mercer Street, was secured as headquar- 
ters, and was suitably decorated with orange and black 
bunting, as well as with the Class banner. This house had 
eight bedrooms for the accommodation of some of the Class, 
and proved a pleasant meeting-place for the others in attend- 
ance. A competent caterer was secured and meals were 
served to as many of the Class as cared to take them there; 
and a very competent " coon ** was on hand to look after any 
passing wants. Further sleeping accommodations were pro- 
vided in Alexander Hall, on the Seminary campus, the dormi- 
tory formerly known to us as "Old Sem." A few of those in 
attendance found quarters elsewhere. 

The experiment of such a prolonged reunion was abun- 
dantly justified, as very many of the Class testified. It af- 
forded an opportunity of intercourse through several days, 
that revived old associations and freshened old memories so 
effectively that at times the thirty years seemed to have rolled 
back and we were boys again, wandering beneath the old elms. 
One noticeable feature was the renewed use of old nicknames, 



REUNION AFTER THIRTY YEARS 

a little awkwardly at first, perchance, but soon with the full 
swing of other days. 

The following thirty-seven of the Class were in attendance 
during all or part of the time : Baltzell, Bryan, Candor, Cars- 
tensen, B. Conover, C. Conover, Dennis, Devereux, Drayton, 
Duffield, Dulles, Ernst, Fisher, Fredericks, Hewitt, Jones, 
Lawrence, Lloyd, McLanahan, Marvel, Negley, North, Pell, 
Savage, Sharpe, Shaw, Sutton, Thomson, Turner, Vanderbilt, 
Henry van Dyke, Van Valzah, Wallace, Wells, John Wilson, 
Woodruff, Wright, and West as a distinguished ex-member. 

Nearly all of the above marched in the procession to the 
baseball game between Yale and Princeton on Saturday. This 
procession is now the liveliest Commencement item. There 
was but one Class ahead of us in the column, '63, so that we 
have at least one more chance at it. The Class paraded around 
the grounds, preceded by the Class banner and a transparency, 
telling the assembled thousands that thirty years ago, five 
members of '73 — Pell, captain and pitcher; Davis, catcher; 
Ernst, first base ; Lawrence, second base, and Fredericks, right 
field, were on the nine that defeated Yale, 10 — 9, and Harvard, 
3 — 1, on two successive days in May. This called forth much 
applause, especially from the undergraduates. None of the 
Yale men present was seen to notice it a second time. After 
the parade the Class occupied seats together in the right-field 
stand, and was no whit behind in enthusiasm when Davis 
made a startling left-hand catch of a three-base hit, or when 
Purnell made his corking home run. 

On Sunday the Class walked in the academic procession to 
Alexander Hall, between the faculty and the graduating class, 
and occupied seats together. All listened most attentively 
(the Secretary watched them carefully) and greatly enjoyed 
the thoroughly good baccalaureate sermon preached by Henry 
van Dyke. On Monday afternoon the Class was photo- 



REUNION AFTER THIRTY YEARS 

graphed on the steps of '"Old North," and then called in a body 
on Mrs. McCosh and Mrs. Dufneld. 

Of course, the chief event of the Reunion was the Class 
dinner on Monday night. As the last circular stated, we were 
the guests of Henry van Dyke and Mrs. van Dyke in their 
beautiful Princeton home. "Avalon." on Bayard Lane. All in 
the above list were present except Carstensen, Lawrence, 
Shaw and Turner. The first two were present only on Satur- 
day; Shaw, through a misunderstanding and because of the 
western floods, did not arrive until Wednesday, and Turner 
went away on Sunday. Several others of the Class fully in- 
tended to be present, but were prevented at the last. The fol- 
lowing wrote, regretting that they could not be present : 
Cross, Davis, Ellis, Hall. McCulloch, Moffat, Morris, Paisley, 
Pringle. I. O. Rankin. Switzer, Taylor, George Van Dyke; and 
among the non-graduates: Booraem, Cecil, Hazlehurst, Linn 
and H. W. Rankin. Colton telegraphed his regrets and greet- 
ings. 

A blessing on the meal was asked by Duffield. After the 
hunger of the hungriest and the thirst of the thirstiest had 
been satisfied, our host gave up his seat at the head of the 
table to Wells, the Class President, who started the speech- 
ball rolling and then called on most of those present. The 
following spoke wittily, wisely and well: Bryan, Candor, C. 
Conover. Devereux. Drayton. Ernst, Fredericks, Jones, 
Lloyd, McLanahan, Marvel, Sharpe. Vanderbilt. van Dyke. 
West and Wilson. 

McLanahan moved and the Class adopted unanimously by 
a rising vote the following : 

" The members of the Class present at this banquet, com- 
memorating our thirtieth anniversary, tender to Dr. and Mrs. 
van Dyke our hearty thanks for their most gracious and gener- 
ous hospitality. To our classmate, who has reflected so much 



REUNION AFTER THIRTY YEARS 

honor upon the Class, we express our high appreciation of this 
renewed evidence of his love and loyalty to good old Seventy 
Three." 

The Secretary was thanked by a special vote for his labors 
in connection with the reunion. The class officers were re- 
elected, and are: Wells, President; Dennis, Vice-President; 
Dulles, Secretary; Drayton, Treasurer. After discussion it 
was voted that the President appoint a committee to solicit 
contributions for a Class gift to the University, such gift to be 
a memorial of the Class of '73. The President appointed on 
this committee: J. Wilson, chairman, H. van Dyke, Ernst, 
Pell, Drayton, Devereux, Wright, Davis, Van Valzah, and 
Dulles, secretary. Before we separated prayer was offered by 
van Dyke, on the suggestion of Wilson. In every respect the 
occasion was a most happy one, marred by no infelicity, rich 
with the sweet flavor of good-fellowship and mutual regard. 

Seventy-three was honored by having one of its members, 
Marvel, preside at the alumni luncheon on Tuesday. This he 
did with dignity and grace. Our Class was represented among 
the speakers by Bryan. 

The poem on the following page by the Class Poet, B. Con- 
over, would have been read at the Class Dinner, had time 
allowed : 



THOUGHTS FOR OUR THIRTIETH 
( "Here's to '73! ") 

Three decades mark the mellowing years 
Since these Old Boys began to live 

In that wide world where Labor rears 

His heart-homes — set 'twixt smiles and tears 
That gray or golden Fates would give: 

The sunny side, the shady side. 

Where Love stood steadfast while Hopes died. 

But yesterday they backward came, 
A scattering few, not quite so fleet 

As when they left to follow Fame — 

The fresh heart's dear but fickle dame — 
Her weary round with willing feet: 

Brothers with Mother met once more 

To find her younger than of yore! 

They've scanned the seamy side of life — 

Mysterious mix of motliness, 
Where art seems lost in aimless strife; 
So riotously run they rife. 

Life's pictured patterns give us guess. 
The golden thread's the other side 
Fulfils the figure here belied. 

We oft would ours were woman's sphere — 
So seeming circumscribed, yet wide, 

That a van Dyke, with brush of seer, 

Has painted as " an atmosphere," 
Embracing all, to none denied: 

With grasp of such gigantic girth, 

We'd have, then, what we want — the Earth ! 



THOUGHTS FOR OUR THIRTIETH 

Be this but badinage broke loose — 

Hood had his joke before he died, 
Penned with no pinion of a goose — 
In Life's game 'tis fair to play the deuce 

And take a trick from Sorrow's side 
To make the dead strain less intense : 
Pure nonsense mates with innocence. 

For fear we may not earn the earth, 
Let's take, if needs, " by violence," 
That vaster world of valid worth 
Seen but when Vision's broader birth 

Reveals what Sight's restricted sense 
Knows not of domain Dutiful — 
The True, the Good, the Beautiful. 

Nor moth nor rust may ever mar 
Nor tricky thief secure by stealth — 

Blind bat beneath the Morning Star 

Become a Sun all sin to bar — 
The title to our Commonwealth; 

Our blood-bought birthright, Beulah-land, 

Beyond the barren Stygian strand. 

We may not meet again — who knows ! — 

On this stray " bank and shoal o' time " ; 
This maze of mingled joys and woes, 
Where Zephyr whispers, Boreas blows — 
But in the saved Soul's constant clime, 
Whate'er our wand'rings here may be, 
God greet a garnered Seventy-three! 



BRYAN'S ADDRESS AT THE ALUMNI LUNCHEON 



Mr. President and Fellow- Alumni : 

It is good for us to be here. Though it is now thirty years 
since we left these Halls, and though there has arisen on this 
spot a new outward University world, and though old North, 
Reunion and West College are the sole landmarks of Memory 
in this vast enchantment and imposing array of noble founda- 
tions, still we are not strangers here. For great and glorious 
as is this modern Princeton in her far-reaching domain, in her 
resplendent Halls, her temples and towers, we of the old and 
dearer Princeton, can come back with eyes shut, and living 
altogether in that past, reclaim our birthright in this King- 
dom of the mind. 

For the old feeling once more enwraps us. Again 

" The place 
Becomes religion, and the heart runs o'er 
In silent worship of the great of old. 
The dead but sceptered sovereigns, who still rule 
Our spirits from their urns." 

As we pass within yonder portal we pause and stand, reverent 
and uncovered, in memory of the great philosopher and edu- 
cator under whom it was our peculiar privilege to first com- 
plete the full college course, and to be the first witnesses to 
attest the love and reverence of coming generations. Indeed, 
our gift at graduation of the noble bust of James McCosh in 
the Library is the first token of homage to him in the 
University. 

My brothers of Princeton, never was the human spirit so 
stirred on this hill as by James McCosh. Never was the mind 
so uplifted and steadied in its flight. Never was there such a 
trumpet-call to duty. Never did a great educator come so 



BRYAN'S ADDRESS AT THE ALUMNI LUNCHEON 

near to men in the intimate fellowship of mental communion, 
to become and remain the abiding inspiration of life. Who 
could forget, that once sat at his feet, the glory and majesty 
of the mind, the freedom of the human will, the sovereignty 
of the moral law, and the awful dominion of conscience? 

And his was a royal faith in God and in the world. Above 
all the clamor and doubt of thirty years ago and since, his fer- 
vent creed was " Bid knowledge speed and trust in God " ! 

He taught men to think, and Princeton became a workshop 
of the mind. He taught men to trust, and under him Prince- 
ton became a new trustee of learning. Prophet-like, he first 
smote the rock of resource, and abundant streams of conse- 
crated wealth rushed forth and have since flowed to renew and 
rebuild the University on broader and deeper foundations, not 
only in outward form, but in intellectual and spiritual mean- 
ings. We remember him as " the fair beginning of a time," 
and we rejoice in this marvelous outgrowth and power of to- 
day, as the embodiment in part of his ideals for Princeton, 
carried forward and accomplished by the master-spirits that 
have followed him as co-workers in these great purposes. 

We of '73 cannot stand in this presence without speaking 
our heart in the sacred memories of this spot. 

Not only is our pride and pleasure in the past, but we have 
a present, personal interest in these Halls. For while as a 
Class in near and remote centres, in earnest life-work, as God 
has given us light and strength, we are rendering back the 
endless debt of life and gratitude to Alma Mater, yet here in 
our College Home is our living monument. In Henry van 
Dyke we have given to the University the fairest bloom and 
richest fruitage of the mind and heart of '73. In a wonderful 
versatility he gladdened and illumined our undergraduate 
days; in mature years he has been as a power of God unto 
salvation in a broad message to all men; a clarion voice from 
the University pulpits of America to the educated youth of our 



BRYAN'S ADDRESS AT THE ALUMNI LUNCHEON 



time ; a lofty guide in the grave councils of the Church ; from 
the professor's chair an inspiring interpreter of the great Lit- 
eratures; with a literary grace and genius all his own he has 
refreshed and strengthened the English-speaking world, and 
here as a crown on Princeton's hill he has at last lit the light 
of divine poesy. 

" The light that never was on sea or land. 
The consecration and the poet's dream." 

And beyond all for us, as college men, a warm and tender 
heart, rich in all college fellowship and comradeship and in 
all the love of the old days deepened for Princeton. 

And now, Mr. President, this is the first meeting of the 
Alumni body at Princeton since your inauguration, and we 
would express our rejoicing in this new administration and its 
rich promise for the future. Princeton's face is turned towards 
the morning when she calls her great young giant to mould 
her destiny. It is radiant with the broadest patriotism and 
national fellowship that she can now commit her future to one 
born in our Southland — and, indeed, I know of no more inspir- 
ing birthplace on American soil than the home of Washing- 
ton, Jefferson and our own Madison, co-workers with Wither- 
spoon and the fathers in laying the foundations of the republic. 

Princeton comes near to the heart of the nation and its 
highest service, when she places as sentinel on her watch tow- 
ers this ardent lover of his country and this devout and philo- 
sophic student of her history, pouring from the past its flood 
of light upon the present, teeming with fateful and imminent 
issues. We rejoice that here there is in Princeton's head for 
the youth of this land so inspiring an illustration of American 
citizenship and patriotic manhood. 

Indeed, Mr. President, the philosophy and lessons of this 
history under God can alone solve the great problems before 



BRYAN'S ADDRESS AT THE ALUMNI LUNCHEON 



us, can alone temper and chasten and illumine this proud and 
over-confident democracy rushing into new and unknown 
paths. The saving power and conserving force of that history, 
interpreted from her halls of learning, inspiring student and 
statesmen, is the spiritual warder for the future, in the neces- 
sary development of this Republic, in the clearer construction 
and firmer maintenance of its organic law, in the interpreta- 
tion and application of its abiding principles to new and un- 
tried conditions, in the honorable settlement of all questions 
between labor and capital, in the limitations of corporate 
power, in the distribution of wealth, in the protection of 
humbler races on our soil, while maintaining the purity and 
integrity of our own civilization; in fulfilling (if God's provi- 
dence so wills) a lofty mission to other races beyond the sea, 
and finally in preserving in its original power and simplicity 
the precious birthright of American citizenship and the pure 
wellspring of the American Home. 

Mr. President, the Class of '73 and the Alumni bid you 
Godspeed in this great mission and service to Princeton and to 
the nation.

PRINCETON 



age of eighteen became a teacher. He taught for a year in 
Lincoln University, where his father was professor of Belles- 
Lettres and Theology. This explains, partially at least, the 
chaste literary style that he exhibited when a student at 
Princeton. All the Class will recall his marked oratorical 
gifts, his handsome presence and his unusually beautiful voice. 
He was a member of Whig Hall, and was a successful com- 
petitor for several of the prizes it offered in oratory, and gained 
the most coveted of all the prizes offered at the time in this 
line — the first Junior Orator's medal. And on his graduation 
he was awarded the Science and Religion Prize for the best 
essay on the relation of Darwinianism and Christianity. He 
received the degree of A.M. in 1876. Before the close of his 
College course he had registered as a student in both law and 
medicine, being undecided which he should finally adopt. 
Determining for law, he entered the office of Albert S. Letch- 
worth and was admitted to the Philadelphia Bar in December, 
1874. He attained considerable success as a lawyer, being re- 
tained in many important cases, generally in the civil courts. 
His practice took him from New Hampshire to Mississippi 
and into intervening States. He became a member of numer- 
ous societies in Philadelphia, and v/as one of the founders of 
the University Club, and for a long time one of its directors. 
He likewise took much interest in the Princeton Club of Phil- 
adelphia, being its treasurer for a number of years, and also 
its vice-president. 

Ever since he ran away from school to become a sailor, he 
had been fond of life on the water, and in the social circles of 
Philadelphia he was well known as a yachtsman, having been 
for some time Commodore of the Philadelphia Yacht Club. 
While interested in politics, as his classmates would suppose, 
he did not turn aside from his legal career, and his ambition 
was to sit upon the bench in one of the courts of Pennsylvania. 
The only political office he ever held was as School Director

SAMUEL EDMUND ANDREWS. It has been impos- 
sible to learn anything about Andrews, even the fact of 
his being alive. He left college at the close of the 
junior year. According to the last Record, he led a roaming 
life thereafter, " traveling on the road " for various business 
houses and engaging particularly in the book trade. He was 
in various places in the West, but made Philadelphia his head- 
quarters, and was understood to have a wife and family there.

HENRY EATON BALTZELL, Fox Chase, Philadel- 
phia, Pa., son of William H. Baltzell (A.M. St. Mary's 
College, Baltimore, '40, and M.D. University of 
Maryland, '42), and Susan S., daughter of E. R. Partridge, 
was born in Baltimore, Md., April 24, 1852. 

After graduation his course in life was unsettled by the 
death of his father. He did not begin the study of law until 
1875. He received the degree of A.M. in 1876. He writes: 
"As made known to my classmates in 1893, I studied law 
and was admitted to the Baltimore Bar in 1877. From that 
time until May, 1899, I continued to reside in Baltimore and 
practice law there up to that time, when I left for Europe with 
my family and placed my boys at Lancy School, near Geneva, 



PRINCETON '73 



Switzerland. I had expected to remain there several years, so 
that they might learn more French and German than their 
' Dad ' ever did from Karge. The climate, however, did not 
agree with my wife and one of my boys, so we returned to 
America the next year. 

On our return my wife was very anxious to bring the 
boys up in the country, so I am settled here where we are all 
enjoying fine health, and think that after all America is better 
than Europe for young Americans. My three boys are grow- 
ing finely, and are going to be larger men than their father, 
especially my namesake. My life has been a quiet, happy one. 
Seeking no official or political honors, I have been blessed 

(or burdened) with none. I am simply an A.B.,A.M. you 

know where— and L.L.B., University of Maryland. From 
time to time I have had the pleasure of seeing some of the dear 
old fellows of '73. 

After I settled here I was just about to look up 'Si * 
Adams, who sat next to me in Class for four years, when I 
picked up the morning paper and was shocked to learn of his 
unfortunate and melancholy end." He speaks of an obstacle 
in the way of his sending his boys to " dear old Princeton," 
which he regrets, of course, and regards as insuperable, at the 
time of writing. Perhaps, however, he may find it possible, 
by a heroic effort, to surmount that obstacle. 

He was married, November 12, 1884, in Philadelphia, to 
Alice S. Handy, daughter of Edward S. Handy, of that city, 
and has three children: Edward Digby, born August 27, 
1885; Henry Eaton, Jr., born December 12, 1888, and William 
Hewson, born November 25, 1890.

GEORGE FAY HUNT BARBER. 412 Wisconsin 
Street. Waukesha. Wis., son of Silas and Amelia 
Barber, was born in Delafield. Wis.. September 1, 1850. 
He entered the sophomore year from Waukesha and this 
has continued to be the place of his residence. After gradu- 
ating he engaged in the drug business and later became owner 
of a livery, omnibus and baggage line. He reported for the 
last Record: " I own a farm of 213 acres, one and a half miles 
from Waukesha, and while living in the village have carried 
on my farm, with a tenant on the place, raising fine horses and 
thoroughbred poultry. A year ago I disposed of my stock 
and rented my farm for a term of years. I am at present en- 
gaged in the National Exchange Bank. I was Secretary of 



PRINCETON '73 



the Waukesha Agricultural Society for five years. I have 
received no honors. I am a Republican, and Trustee and El- 
der in the First Presbyterian Church of Waukesha." Appar- 
ently his farming and other pursuits prospered, for he now 
writes that he is not engaged in any active occupation, but has 
retired from business life. His time is taken up with the care 
of considerable real estate, which he owns or controls. That 
" farm " has become " real estate," one would judge. He says : 
" My lines have been cast in pleasant places. The world has 
been good to me and mine. As a general thing good health 
has favored us all, and we have enough of this world's goods 
to live comfortably. All my family are members of the Pres- 
byterian Church." He is a ruling elder of the same church 
as in 1893, and has made his sons staunch Republicans after 
him. He regrets that a projected trip to Europe prevents his 
attending the Reunion. 

He was married, October 21, 1875, to Lydia D. Bacon, of 
Waukesha, and has two children: Winchel Fay, born July 
30, 1877, and George Stanley, born April 7, 1883. Winchel 
took the Civic Historic course in the University of Wisconsin, 
from which he graduated with honors, becoming a member of 
the Phi Beta Kappa Fraternity, and will this June graduate 
from the Law School of the same university, in which Stan- 
ley is now a sophomore. The latter expects to become a 
physician.

After graduating, he entered the law office of King & Hallock. 
Catskill. N. Y.. and remained there nearly a year. In October. 
[874, he entered the Albany Law School. In June. i8~s. was 
admitted to the Bar of the State of New York and began the 
practice of law in September. 1S75. at Rochester. N. Y. He 
received the degree of A.M. in 1S76 Subsequently he was en- 
gaged in business. For some years he was Superintendent of 
a Home for Children in New York City Later he became a 
journalist, and as such he wishes to be regarded. He writes 
that he has not done much financially or otherwise to immor-

talize himself. He is very proud of a number of the Class who 
have shown genius since '73 days. He is a member of the 
Presbyterian Church and believes that the old Westminster 
confession of faith is, all in all, good enough ; but he thinks that 
if any one must revise it, H. van Dyke is the man to do it. Is 
a Republican in politics, though will vote for any man of '73 
for anything, if opportunity occurs. While not professing to 
be much of a prophet, he sees trouble ahead between labor and 
capital, and would not be much surprised if the Government 
owned the principal railroad and telegraph companies 
eventually. 

Bissell longs to be useful to the few remaining celibates 
of the Class, and says that he has been somewhat instrumental 
in bringing to pass two happy marriages of friends and would 
not mind trying to similarly aid any forlorn '73 bachelors, if 
they will only send him their best points and not underesti- 
mate themselves Don't all come at once ! 

He is in excellent health, having just passed " with flying 
colors " a rigid examination for life insurance. He lives in his 
own house, not hired, and would be pleased to receive a call 
from any of his classmates. 

Bissell has been twice married. First, to Nettie Estelle 
Sage, at Berlin, N. Y., February 3, 1881, who died January 29, 
1894. By this marriage he has two children, viz.: Cardera 
Estelle, born January 19, 1882, and Norman Artemas, born 
October 13, 1887. The former graduated from the New Jer- 
sey State Normal School in June, 1902, and the latter entered 
the Mount Hermon School, Massachusetts, in May, 1903. 

On the 6th of September, 1895, Bissell was married to Mrs. 
Mary Emma Lum, at Chatham, N. J. No children by this 
marriage, but a member of the family is Harrie Elizabeth Lum, 
daughter of Mrs. Bissell by her first marriage.

LOUIS VACHER BOORAEM, 160 Fifth Avenue, New 
York, entered the Class from Jersey City and remained 
only during freshman year. He took up the study of 
law, entering the Columbia Law School and graduating in due 
time with the degree of LL.B. He was admitted to the New 
York Bar and has engaged in the practice of law ever since. 
He has resided in New York City and suburbs, principally in 
New Jersey, and now lives in the picturesque borough of 
Essex Falls. He writes : " I have had no special association 
with any of my former classmates. I have been edified from 
time to time by hearing the wit and eloquence of Dr. van 
Dyke at public dinners. I recall no incident that would inter- 
est the Class, unless it be the ' Postal Cry ' of Old ' Steve ' as 
he entered North College with the mail of ' Burroom,' and that 
my name being Dutch and long and near the top of the roll 
caused Tutor O'Brien to essay its pronunciation and to call on 
me as the first one to recite, when the Class assembled for its 
first recitation, and that I participated in the surrender of the 
Class to Brooklyn, when we elected Comstock, van Dyke and 
Pell as the first Class officers." 

He is married and has four children: Abigail Van Nos- 
trand, born August 9, 1884; Hendrik, born April 2, 1886; Cor- 
nelia Van Vorst, born October 5, 1887, and Harold Van Nos- 
trand, born January 14, 1893.

JOHN P. KENNEDY BRYAN, 42 South Battery, 
Charleston, S. C, son of George S. Bryan and Rebecca

GEORGE STOCKTON BURROUGHS was the son of 
the Rev. George Washington and Olivia Caroline 
(Stockton) Burroughs, and was born January 6, 1855, 
in Waterloo, N. Y., where his father was pastor of the Re- 
formed Church. His great-grandfather was a soldier in the 
Revolution and assisted in Washington's crossing of the Dela- 
ware, prior to the battle of Princeton. At the early age of 
eleven he made a public confession of his faith in the First 
Congregational Church of Middletown, Conn. His prepara- 
tory studies were pursued in the Mantua Academy in West 
Philadelphia, under Prof. F. W. Hastings, from which he, with 
two others of the Class, Ernst and Dulles, came to Princeton 
in the fall of 1870, entering the sophomore year. He was

then only fifteen years of age, and we all recall the very youth- 
ful and rather delicate-looking boy who quietly took up the 
duties of his college career. He soon showed himself to be a 
most diligent student as well as a sweet-minded, companion- 
able fellow, who speedily assumed his place among the first 
honor-men of the Class. This place he held easily, because 
of his native gifts and his unceasing application, through his 
college course. He was a member of Clio Hall, and distin- 
guished himself in the literary exercises of that society. He 
graduated second in the Class, and delivered the Latin Saluta- 
tory at our Commencement. He was active in the religious 
life of '73, and had determined to enter the ministry before 
graduation. 

He spent the year 1873-74 in reading and private study, 
entering the seminary at Princeton in September, 1874. His 
life in the seminary was a repetition, on a higher plane, let us 
say, of that college, and he showed there the same traits of 
character, with added maturity of thought and purpose. He 
took the full three years' course in Theology, graduating in 
1877. He was licensed by the Presbytery of New Brunswick, 
April 25, 1876, and ordained to the ministry by the Presbytery 
of Lehigh, July 10, 1877, being at the same time installed pas- 
tor of the Presbyterian Church at Slatington, Pa. He served 
this church most acceptably for three years. His next charge 
was in the Congregational body, being pastor of the First 
Church of Christ at Fairfield, Conn., from 1880 to 1884, and 
then for two years of the First Congregational Church of New 
Britain, Conn. 

In 1886 he was called to the Samuel Green Professorship of 
Biblical History and Interpretation in Amherst College. Con- 
joined with the duties of this chair were those of college pas- 
tor, and he held this double office from January, 1887, until 
September, i8g2. He only left Amherst because summoned to 
a position of greater responsibility and wider influence.

Wabash College, in Indiana, was at this time without a presi- 
dent, and Burroughs was called to the head of this institution, 
which he served with eminent success for seven years, from 
1892 to 1899. He was also during the same period Professor 
of Biblical Literature at Wabash. Resigning the presidency 
in 1899, he was at once invited to occupy the chair of Old Tes- 
tament Language and Literature in the Theological Depart- 
ment of Oberlin College. This proved to be the last stage of 
his increasingly useful career. 

His health was far from good when he went to Oberlin, but 
this did not cause him to abate his zeal or diminish his labors 
in the least. In June, 1901, he was obliged to have his left 
arm amputated, in consequence of a fall and the development 
of sarcoma. He still continued to teach and preach, but was 
soon troubled with sciatica and neuralgia and was ordered to 
the sanitarium at Clifton Springs, N. Y. As he was about to 
leave the train the right arm was broken. Sarcoma set in and 
after seven weeks of much suffering he died at the sanitarium, 
October 22, 1901, in the forty-seventh year of his age. He 
was buried at Fairfield, Conn. Thus in middle age he ended 
his life, a life full of beneficent toil and crowned with many 
honors. 

Burroughs supplied the Mansfield Congregational Church, 
Ohio, for some time after he went to Oberlin, and later the 
Plymouth Congregational Church of Cleveland, and still later 
the East Cleveland Congregational Church until two months 
after the breaking of his left arm. And he had for a time a 
large Bible class among the business men of Cleveland. At 
the time of his death he was the President of the Kindergarten 
Association of Cleveland. These facts throw strong sidelights 
upon his love for hard work, something very manifest in his 
life as a Princeton student. He did not lack in literary pro- 
ductiveness, publishing " The Story of the English Bible," and 
contributing scholarly articles to various religious periodicals. 



PRINCETON '73 



He was married May 30, 1877, to Emma Frances Plumley, 
of Metuchen, New Jersey, and had four children: Mabel 
born March 5, 1878, at Slatington, Pa.; Harold, born May 31, 
1883, at Fairfield, Conn., died April 12, 1885; Ralph, born June 
16, 1887, at Amherst, Mass.; Edmund, born February 16, 1890, 
also at Amherst. His daughter graduated from Smith College 
in 1900, and is now engaged in teaching. Ralph will enter the 
Oberlin Academy in the fall of 1903, when Edmund will enter 
the Oberlin High School. Mrs. Burroughs resides in Oberlin. 

Burrcughs's attainments as a scholar and his ability as a 
preacher secured widespread recognition. Princeton gave him 
the degree of A.M. in 1876 and two honorary degrees, that of 
Ph.D. in 1884 and that of D.D. in 1887; and he received the 
degree of LL.D. from Marietta College in 1895. He was thus 
fully doctored. His death called forth many appreciative and 
loving tributes. The Board of Trustees of Wabash College, 
on learning of his death, expressed their " grateful apprecia- 
tion of the untiring zeal and loyalty with which Dr. Burroughs 
served the College during the seven years of his presidency." 
And the similar Board of Oberlin used the following language : 
" To the chair of Old Testament Language and Literature he 
came with splendid enthusiasm, and gave himself to his work 
with a glowing zeal and faith which won at once the hearts of 
his colleagues and students, and commanded not only confi- 
dence but deep and tender affection." 

One said of him : " His mind was the meeting-place of the 
old and the new; conservative and progressive scholars alike 
loved and trusted him. He filled out my ideal of a teacher 
in the modern college; he was a specialist with a wide expe- 
rience of life; he carried a Christian minister's heart, knowl- 
edge and purpose into all his college work." Another tells 
how he took a deep interest in all civic concerns and mani- 
fested a hearty interest in everything conducive to social wel- 
fare. And one of his Oberlin pupils describes him as a broad 



PRINCETON '73 



and thorough scholar, an eminently practical and helpful 
teacher, and a devout and pure-minded spiritual leader. 

All this his classmates can readily believe. For twenty 
years he was our Class Secretary, and as such he prepared the 
decennial and vigintennial Records of '73. We mourn his 
loss; we rejoice unfeignedly in his pure, ardent, devoted Chris- 
tian character and in his manifold usefulness; as a Class we 
may well cherish his memory.

HORACE BURT, son of Nathaniel Burt (Princeton, 
'39) and Jennie Annie Brooke, was born in Lancaster 
County, Pennsylvania, June 15, 1854. He entered the 
Class in junior year from Philadelphia, and remained only 
that year. 

Burt turned his attention to the iron business after leaving 
Princeton. This was given up because of the panic of 1873. 
He then spent six months traveling in Europe; afterward a 
year and a half was occupied in studying law. He became a 
member of the Philadelphia Bar in 1877. He removed in 1879 
to Baltimore, where he engaged in the manufacture of iron 
and in the importation of Spanish Bessemer ores. He then 
returned to Philadelphia and was in the employ of the Penn-

sylvania Railroad. After 1881 his residence was in Philadel- 
phia, where he was a lawyer. He died there, March 21, 1891, 
of typhoid fever. 

He was married October 21, 1875, to Nettie A. Jones, and 
had four children: Alice, born March 17, 1877, now Mrs. 
Henry D. Riley; Horace Brooke, born January 15, 1879, died 
April 7, 1886; Maxwell Struthers, born October 18, 1881, now 
a senior in Princeton; Nathaniel, born December 20, 1881, died 
September 23, 1885, and Jean Brooke, born August 10, 1885. 
His widow is living in Philadelphia.

year from Noblestown. 

After graduating in '73 he went to Pittsburg and began 
the study of law in the office of Rob & Snively. He received 
the degree of A.M. in 1876. In July, 1876, he was admitted to 
the Alleghany County Bar and continued in practice up to the 
spring of 1880. After this he engaged in the oil business for, 
a time, and also as a broker. In 1900 he moved to Carnot, Pa., 
where he now resides. He attends the Sharon Presbyterian 
Church in that place. His health is poor, allowing little work 
except what he does in his garden. 

He was married to Maggie Grier, of Oakdale, Pa., March 
13, 1879, and has five children: William Grier, born in Alle- 
gheny, Pa., March 4, 1882; Grier, nineteen years of age; Eliza-

New York City and Cherry Valley. His present residence is 
in the latter and he is engaged in business in New York as 
building superintendent at 46 Wall Street. He intended to

vented, which all regretted.

ADDISON CANDOR, Williamsport, Pa., son of David 
and Caroline G. (Watson) Candor, was born in Lewis- 
town, Pa., August 7, 1852. He entered Princeton from 
Lewistown, in whose Academy he had prepared for college. 
After graduation he studied law at Milton and at Williams- 
port, Pa., and was admitted to the Bar in September, 1875, 
beginning practice under the firm of Candor and Munson. The 
firm has not changed since then. In 1876 he received the de- 
gree of A.M. He still does business at the old stand, Elliot 
Block, West Fourth and Pine Streets, Williamsport. In the 
last Record he said : " By political faith I am a Republican, 
and my religious denomination is the Presbyterian. I am 
quite well satisfied that the doctrines of both are eminently 



PRINCETON '73 



correct." Whether or not he is now a " revisionist " is not 
known. He has prospered in his professional work. The 
Decennial Record told how he had built himself a fine resi- 
dence upon the finest street in Williamsport, and how he, with 
five others, had a beautiful summer cottage upon one of the 
best trout streams in Pennsylvania. 

A daily paper of October, 1900, under the heading " Judge- 
ship Forced on Him," mentioned Candor's appointment by 
Governor Stone as Judge of the Courts of Lycoming County. 
He had been the first person thought of and asked to accept 
the position, but had refused it. In spite of this he was named 
and the appointment gave great satisfaction. He persisted in 
his refusal and was not sworn in. So the Class lacks one 
more judge. 

Another of the Class writes : " Candor has been so atten- 
tive to his large practice, and so eminently successful, that he 
has not seemed disposed to engage in politics." He has been 
acting as counsel for the American Bell Telephone Company 
for his section of Pennsylvania. 

He was married April 4, 1878, to Catherine S. Grafius, and 
has one child, John Grafius, who was born January 27, 1879. 
He took the preparatory course in Lawrenceville and gradu- 
ated from Princeton in 1902. He is now studying law in the 
University of Pennsylvania.

RICHARD CANFIELD was born in Detroit, Mich., 
February 23, 1851. His father was Augustus Canfield, 
a graduate of the United States Military Academy at 
West Point. His mother was Mary S. Cass. He entered 
college with a mind well furnished for work by a thorough 
preparatory education and extensive foreign travel. By his 
kindly spirit, his well-bred courtesy, his gentle manners and 
his even character, he endeared himself to his classmates. His 
general good scholarship all recall. His temporary home 
being in the town, where his presence was a joy to the small 
family circle, he was hindered from that close intimacy with 
classmates which a college residence brings about. He, how- 
ever, always delighted to welcome his classmates to his home, 
and many have pleasant memories of meeting with him there. 
After graduation, he entered upon a course of preparation 
for his chosen profession, the law, attending the Columbia 
College Law School. While prosecuting these studies, he was 
cut down on the very threshold of life. He died suddenly of 
pneumonia, at his home in Princeton, June 25, 1874, just one 
year after graduation.

his graduation, he studied law with his father and practiced his 
profession in Lexington for a few years. In 1881 he went to 
St. Louis, and there engaged in the grocery business. About 
four years after this he went to Sioux City, Iowa, to take 
charge of a branch of the cracker business of a brother-in-law, 
afterwards joining the latter in Omaha, where he remained till 
his health gave way. In 1876 he had received the degree of 
A.M. at our Triennial. In 1890 he returned to Lexington, 
much broken in health, and died there in the Hospital for the 
Insane, October 3, 1902. He was unmarried.

Although fond of a thoroughbred horse, I have not yet learned 
to concoct the contents of the decanter and mint. I do not 
meet many of the old Class, but I wish to say that at my home,

quently admitted to the Bar in New York and New Jersey. 
He received the degree of A.M. in 1876. 

He writes : " I have been practicing in a general way with 
a reasonable degree of activity and success. Except for a year 
when I was in partnership with Jacob Vanatta, terminated by

prosperous, but cannot report that I have covered myself with 
any great distinction." While practicing in New York he re- 
sided for a time in Newark, moving later to East Orange. His

DAVID YOUNG COMSTOCK, St. Johnsbury, Vt., 
was born June 13, 1852, in Danbury, Conn. He was 
prepared for college in the Polytechnic Institute of 
Brooklyn, N. Y. In March of the freshman year he was 
obliged to leave Princeton on account of malaria, being or- 
dered by his physician to a hill country. He entered Amherst 
in May, 1870, and graduated from that college in the class of 
'73, and received the degree of A.M. from the same in 1876. 
He taught in the Lonsdale High School, Rhode Island, 
'873-74, when he was elected an instructor at Phillips Acad- 
emy, Andover, Mass., and remained in that institution until 
June, 1892. He spent 1887-88 in study in Germany, Italy, and 
Greece. For three years, 1892-95, he was Associate Master of 
the Hotchkiss School, Lakeville, Conn. The year 1895-96 was 
devoted to literary work. From 1896 until the present time he 
has been Principal of the St. Johnsbury Academy, Vermont. 
While in Princeton he was a member of Clio Hall, " which," 
he writes, " was a valuable factor in my short Princeton ex- 
perience. I remember some hard scrimmages in cane-sprees, 
in which Dr. McCosh took occasional, unexpected part." 

He was married August 7, 1877, at Andover, Mass., to 
Augusta S. Tenney, and has one daughter, Ethel Young, born 
July 29, 1879.

ELBERT NEVINS CONDIT died in Walla Walla, 
Wash., June 7, 1900. He was the son of the Rev. Than-

born May 2, 1846, in Stillwater, N. J., and made a public pro- 
fession of his faith in the First Presbyterian Church of Still- 
water at the age of twenty. He pursued his preparatory 
studies in the parochial school of his native town, of which 
Miss Anna M. Condit, his sister, was the principal. He came 
to Princeton in the fall of 1869. During the year following 
his graduation he engaged in teaching in East Millstone, N. J., 
having started a classical school there. 

In 1874 he entered the Seminary at Princeton, taking the 
full three years' course there and graduating in 1877. He had 



PRINCETON '73 



received the degree of A.M. in 1876. He was licensed by the 
Presbytery of Newton, May g, 1877, and at the same time or- 
dained an evangelist, that he might engage in home mission- 
ary work in the far West. From October, 1877, until April, 
1879, he labored with untiring zeal and much success at Clat- 
sop Plains and Astoria, Ore., serving the Presbyterian 
churches in these two places. He then moved to Albany, Ore., 
having been called to the presidency of the Albany Collegiate 
Institute. There, for two years, he supplied the Presbyterian 
Church of Albany in addition to his work as President of the 
college. In 1881 the name of this institution was changed to 
that of Albany College. 

He wrote in the last Class Record: " I resigned my posi- 
tion as President of Albany Collegiate Institute in September, 
1885, but in July, 1887, I was again elected President. The 
institution has doubled its capacity in building equipment and 
more than doubled in its attendance." He continued serving 
Albany College until 1894, an <3 fr o m that time until the sum- 
mer of 1896 was President of the Occidental College, of Los 
Angeles, Cal., which, like the former, was under the care of 
the Presbyterian Church. Shortly before his resignation from 
the Occidental College, its buildings were destroyed by fire 
and " E " lost nearly all his personal effects. Soon after this 
he went to Walla Walla, Wash., and supplied the Presbyterian 
Church there until his death, which occurred June 7, 1900, of 
apoplexy, in the fifty-fifth year of his age. His death was sud- 
den and peaceful. He had gone to his study after breakfast, 
when the stroke came without warning and in five minutes he 
was dead. He was buried at Walla Walla. He was Modera- 
tor of the Synod of Washington in 1878, and its Stated Clerk in 
1879. He published a historical sketch of the Presbytery of 
Oregon. 

His wife was Miss Clara Jennie Clark, and they were mar- 
ried July 23, 1884, in Albany, Ore. They had two children,

Anna Melita. born April BS, 18S5. now deceased, and Elbert 
Clark, born February -4. 1889. who. with his widow, survives 
him. His death brought a useful career to a close. He had a 
special aptitude tor teaching. Before coming to college he. 
had taught in Bushkill. Pa., tor about a year and a half. His 
administrative abilities were pronounced. Many of his class- 
mates will recall the success with which he ministered to the 
gastronomic wants of " The Knights of the Round Tables." 
His labors as pastor and teacher were characterized by an un- 
tiring energy and a sound common sense that made them 
fruitful.

ISAAC HIRAM CONDIT, Newton, N. J., son of Rev. 
Thaniel B. and Rebecca J. Condit, was born in Stillwater, 
N. J., September 8, 1848. In September, 1873, he entered 
Princeton Seminary. In 1875 he accepted the position of 
Tutor of Mathematics in Princeton College, retaining it for 
three years. In 1876 he received the degree of A.M. He was 
licensed by the Presbytery of Newton, at Belvidere, N. J., 
April 10, 1878, and ordained an evangelist by the same Presby- 
tery, June 11, 1879. He then went to Albany, Ore., and spent 
two years teaching in the Albany Collegiate Institute, of which 
his brother " E " was President, and during the same time sup- 
plied the church at Pleasant Grove, Ore. Then he was stated 
supply of the First Presbyterian Church of Albany, Ore., for 



PRINCETON '73 



two years. In the spring of 1885 he left Oregon to become 
pastor of the Marshall Street Church of Elizabeth, N. J., and 
in the spring of 1890 entered upon the pastorate of the Presby- 
terian Church at Stanhope, N. J., serving this church for 
four years. 

He writes : " By looking at our ' Twenty Years ' I see that 
I must begin at '93 to give the ' account ' you wish. The year 
following our twentieth anniversary we moved south of Ma- 
son and Dixon's line and I spent several years as pastor of ; 
the Presbyterian Church in Hagerstown, Md. While there 
our third son, Paul Grandin, was born, February 5, 1896. On 
account of war in the camp I came north and served the 
church of the nativity (i.e., my nativity) two years as stated 
supply and pursued at the same time in the old home of my 
birth private studies. After leaving Stillwater, and spending 
a year at the seaside (Holly Beach, N. J.,) with my family, we 
came to this charge, the Yellow Frame Church, nearly two 
years ago ; a place rendered sacred by the official ministrations 
of John Witherspoon, a signer of the Declaration of Independ- 
ence, and an honored President of our Alma Mater — (this last 
for your information). Here we occupy the highest location, 
I believe, in the State of New Jersey on which any church edi- 
fice rests, and where, we are happy to believe, the fresh moun- 
tain breezes are giving new life to Mrs. Condit, whose health 
was poor at the seaside. Here Nature's picturesqueness is to 
us a constant feast. We look down upon all our brethren in 
the ministry in the State of New Jersey." 

" H " was married June 15, 1881, to Anna Mclndoe Whyte, 
in Jersey City, N. J., and by her had two sons : James W., born 
January 7, 1887, and George H., born February 25, 1889. His 
wife died March 14, 1889. He was again married, May 13, 
1893, to Hannie May Scripture, who has added two sons to 
his family: Paul Grandin, born February 5, 1896, and Elbert 
Caryl, now four years old. Concerning his sons he says : 



PRINCETON '73 



" The eldest, James, is sixteen, and my constant helper with 
pen, typewriter, curry-comb, pick and shovel. The two next, 
George and Paul, are in a private school four miles down the 
valley, where I was prepared for College. The same teacher 
that fitted me is still at the head of the school, my eldest sister. 
My youngest son, Elbert Caryl, aged four years, if he should 
retain his present precocity, piety, versatility, and strong will, 
bids fair, good health standing by him, to overtake in some 
way the famous Doctor John Witherspoon."

JAMES CLARENCE CONOVER, Freehold, N. J., was 
born at Freehold, August 12, 1850. He was prepared for 
College in the Freehold Institute, and entered the sopho- 
more Class of Princeton in 1870. After graduation he read 
law with Charles Haight for one year, and then with Chilion 
Robbins for two years. He was admitted to practice as an 
attorney in June, 1876, and as a counsellor in November, 1881. 
He received the degree of A.M. in 1876. Freehold has been 
his only home. There he has built up a good law practice and 
has become a man of note. He was counsel for the Monmouth 
County Board of Chosen Freeholders for nine years prior to 
April, 1890, when he was appointed by Governor Abbett Law 
Judge of Monmouth County. He made so good a judge that 



PRINCETON '73 



he was reappointed by Governor Werts in 1895 for a second 
term of five years. 

" C " is a good deal of a Society man, as the following will 
show. He is (or has been) a member of the Holland Society 
of New York, being a lineal descendant of Woolf ert Garrettson 
Van Covenhoven, who came to America from Holland in 1630; 
also of the Sons of the American Revolution, of New Jersey; 
of the New Jersey State Rifle Association, and of other organ- 
izations with highly complex names. 

He was married February 7, 1877, to Josephine Bleakley, 
of Verplanck, N. Y., and has one child, Rosalie Bleakley 
Conover.

JOHN BARRICLO CONOVER, Freehold, N. J., was born 
June 19, 1848, at the historic old Topanemus homestead, 
Marlborough, Monmouth County, N. J., the youngest and 
only surviving child of Hendrick E. Conover and Mary 
Barriclo. 

Following a few terms at its district school (where the 
father of the late Vice-President Hobart was his first teacher), 
in the spring of 1861 the family moved to Freehold, N. J., the 
county seat of Monmouth, where (save a short interval at the 
Lawrenceville High School) he prepared for Princeton, enter- 
ing the Class of '73 as a sophomore — with his next door neigh- 
bor, J. Clarence Conover, as classmate and roommate. 
In 1872 ill health led him into the heart of the balsamic Georgia 



PRINCETON '73 



pines to recuperate. Returning with the fall and al- 
lowed to select a special from the junior and senior courses, 
he was honored with the poem on Class-day '73 and an A.M. 
at the triennial; having meanwhile, in 1875, received a gradu- 
ate LL.B. from Columbia. After some months in the book 
and stationery business with the late James C. Perrine (also 
'73) he withdrew from the partnership for a two years' prac- 
tical course in the law offices of the late Governor Joel Parker 
at Freehold; whence, in 1878, he was, upon examination, ad- 
mitted to the Bar of New Jersey as an attorney. 

From this time he had his own office in Freehold as a gen- 
eral practitioner until 1883, when he went with Surrogate 
David S. Crater, as chief assistant ; whence, upon the death of 
his father in 1885, he withdrew to care for matters of a more 
personal nature. His mother dying in 1889, and health again 
failing, in 1890 he abandoned all active work until igoo. The 
next year he helped organize, and became President of a com- 
pany with new patents for incandescent gas-burners, known 
as the Midnight Sunlight and representing his present princi- 
pal venture. 

From late boyhood to date he has been a pretty frequent, 
haphazard pelter of the city and country press with both prose 
and poetastic pellets — as Editor Wells, of the Philadelphia 
Press, for one, well knows ; and he has likewise orally assailed 
the defenceless auditor from many a public platform in his 
own and contiguous counties — on both set and sporadic occa- 
sions — upon themes political, religious, literary, social, moral, 
municipal and other of local " contemporaneous human inter- 
est " ; and dabbled on the side in amateur theatricals and " elo- 
cutions " — of which innocuous mania he has still occasional 
spasmodic attacks. 

During all these years he has been rather closely connected 
with the practical work of the Freehold Presbyterian Church, 
being long its youngest elder — now emeritus through the 



PRINCETON '73 



adoption of the rotary rule. In politics he is a Democrat by 
birth, education and choice — occasionally kicking over the 
party traces (particularly during the passing silver craze) — 
being a firm believer in the gold standard and non-sumptuary 
legislation, and ready ' to render a reason for the faith that 
is in him,' when seasonable and worth while. 

Among (principally local) offices of a public and semi- 
public character, he has held — at various times for varying 
terms — the following: Librarian, Secretary, Treasurer and 
Assistant Superintendent Presbyterian Sabbath School; Elder 
and Clerk of Church Session ; Secretary Finance and Building 
Committee and Supervisor for both church and contractor of 
the construction of a large stone tower (from the ground up 
some 150 feet) completing the edifice; Minute Clerk of Mon- 
mouth Presbytery and New Jersey Synod and Delegate 
thereto; Commissioner to General Assembly and member of 
its Auditing Committee; Secretary Monmouth County Bible 
Society ; Life-member American Bible Society ; President 
Freehold Gospel Temperance Club; Secretary New Jersey 
Church Temperance Alliance ; President and Treasurer of sev- 
eral Democratic clubs in national campaigns; member Mon- 
mouth County Board of Freeholders and Chairman of its Pub- 
lic Buildings Committee, having charge of finishing and fur- 
nishing a large addition then being made thereto; Director 
Monmouth Fair Association; Secretary Freehold Board of 
Trade; President Fire Department; President Lyceum (pub- 
lic library and free reading-room) ; President Mutual Improve- 
ment Society (literary and musical) ; President Choral Soci- 
ety; Secretary Home Dramatic Association; member Holland 
Society of New York; Treasurer Monmouth Battle Monument 
Association (local) ; Treasurer Monmouth Battle Monument 
Commission (State) ; Secretary and Treasurer General Com- 
mittee for laying corner-stone of the Battle Monument in 1878, 
and, also, of Executive Committee of Arrangements for un-

veiling same in 1884 — at each of which celebrations over 20,000 
persons were present, over 3,000 in procession, all of which 
3,000, with many other distinguished guests, were dined 
wholly by the people of the county at the former and princi- 
pally by the State at the latter function. 

Despite many depressing experiences, feeling, in the main, 
better than ever before and with a keener interest in his kind, 
his " views of education and life in general " are fairly well 
expressed by this sage and sententious close of a boy's compo- 
sition on Health, viz. : " Health is the best thing a man 
can do." 

He was married September 10, 1878, to Laura Helena Rich- 
ardson, only daughter of the late Professor Amos Richardson 
(Dartmouth), and has had no children. His wife was at one 
time musical instructor in Evelyn College, Princeton.

JAMES HOAGLAND COWEN was born near Millers- 
burg, Ohio, November n. 1853. He was a country boy 
and amid the wholesome surroundings of his father's farm 
and the influences of a Christian home, his youth was passed 
and his character was formed. His preparatory schooling was 
received in Millersburg and Hayesville, Ohio. He entered 
the Class sophomore year, while not yet seventeen years of 
age. Later on Cowen was accustomed to wish regretfully that 
he had delayed his college career until he was a year or two 
older and better equipped by a broader and more thorough 
preparation for its discipline and advantages. College was to 
him a great opportunity, and he profited by it visibly, month 
by month, during his three years' course. While not a close 
student in the set college studies, he gave them a fair share of 
attention, and from every side, by a process of natural selec- 
tion, he assimilated ideas and information for which he had a 
use. His literary society, the American Whig, of which he 
was a working, enthusiastic member, was an educator and 
training-school for him. The society library, its newspapers 
and periodicals, the college library, the daily contact and in- 
tercourse with his fellow-students of all classes, had each an 
important share in his college education. 

He early developed a talent for public speaking, which 
brought him honors in Hall, made him a Junior orator and 
later Class-day orator. In the Presidential campaign of 1872 
political feeling ran very high, and quite a number from among 
the members of the Class of '73 took the stump for their favor- 
ite candidate, speaking in many different points in New Jer- 
sey, and some even going outside of the State. One of the 
most enthusiastic of these undergraduate orators was James 
Cowen, then a zealous champion of Horace Greeley. Though 
but eighteen years old, he proved that he possessed already 
the qualities of an efficient and popular speaker, and his first 



PRINCETON '73 



voluntary effort was followed at once by invitations to address 
Democratic gatherings in half a dozen different places. 

He was graduated when nineteen and a half years old, 
being one of the youngest members of the Class. His subse- 
quent career was one steady development and growth. Dur- 
ing the winter of 1873-74, he held the position of Superintend- 
ent of Public Schools at Seville, Ohio, which carried with it 
the duties of instructor and principal in one of the schools. 
This kind of work was little to his taste, however, and he joy- 
fully gave it up in May, 1874, to enter on the study of law. In 
August of that year he sailed for Europe, intending to spend 
some time in study and travel, but in four short months he 
was summoned home by the death of his mother. He resumed 
the study of law at Millersburg, and in September, 1875, he 
entered the Columbia Law School, in New York City. He 
received the degree of A.M. from Princeton in 1876. In the 
summer and fall of 1876 he made speeches for the Democratic 
party in Ohio, New York and New Jersey, speaking in Ohio 
sixty-five times in as many days. Many of these speeches 
were made in the open air and at night time, sometimes in in- 
clement weather. The combined excitement, exposure and 
overwork of this campaign were entirely too much for a sys- 
tem more robust in appearance than in reality. 

He returned to the Law School, intending to complete his 
preparatory course and be admitted to practice in the spring 
of 1877, but an obstinate cold developed itself, followed in 
course of time by unmistakable indications of serious lung 
trouble. In February he gave up his law studies and devoted 
himself henceforth to the vain endeavor to regain his lost 
health. He first went to Florida, thence to South Carolina. 
As the weather grew warmer he visited the mountains of New 
England, and, in September, 1877, sailed again for Europe, in- 
tending to spend the winter in the South of France. Receiv- 
ing no benefit he returned in December, and spent the remain- 



PRINCETON 



der of the winter and the spring of 1878 in the South again, 
this time chiefly in Texas. Growing weaker month by month, 
as a last experiment he tried the air of Colorado, but it brought 
him no relief. Too weak to bear the fatigue of travel longer, 
he returned home in August, baffled and hopeless of his recov- 
ery. Watchful, loving care and tender nursing, the most skil- 
ful physicians and Nature in her choicest climes were alike 
impotent to check the ravages of that dread destroyer, con- 
sumption. At Bonnie Brae, the residence of his family, near 
Baltimore. James Cowen passed his few remaining days. On 
November 16, 1878. less than a week after his twenty-fifth 
birthday, his spirit took its flight. His body rests beside that 
of his mother in the quiet churchyard at Millersburg. Ohio.

of A M. He obtained the position of Assistani Physician to 
the Illinois Stale Hospital for the Insane, at Elgin, in January, 
1878, and in 1879 v/as promoted to the position of First A 

ant. in July, 1882, he resigned this place and went to New 

York, opening an office on the West Side for general practice,

utation. He continued in practice until early in ;8o,8, v/hen 
the development of the disease of which he died compelled 
him to give up his practice and go to Saranac, in the Adiron- 
dacks, in search of health. After a brave struggle for two 
year-, and a half, he finally succumbed and died of consump- 
tion at Bloomingdale, N. Y., April l8, (OOO, in his fifty-first 
year. He v/as a member of the Medieal Society of the County

He was married, November 4, 1889, to Clara G. Grant, of 
New York, now living at 34 West Ninety-fourth Street, New 
York City. They had no children. 

A New York paper, noticing Crane's death, said: "The 
death of Dr. Crane will be felt by many of the poorer people 
living on the West Side, for he was always ready to attend any 
who were in need of medical assistance, regardless of their 
ability to pay him." This is a tribute to his goodness of heart 
that the Class will readily understand, as they recall his kindly, 
genial, often jocose disposition.

WILLIAM IRVINE CROSS. Baltimore. Md.. son of 
Andrew B. Cross (Princeton, 'jj) and Margaret 
Irvine Dickey, was born in Baltimore, February 22, 
[85a. He entered the Class sophomore year. 

Cross writes that he has nothing to add to the statements 
of the last Record. Assuming that there is nothing in it to 
correct, the Secretary repeats it here 

After Leaving college he taught school for two years; then 
studied law and was admitted to practice in 1876. He re- 
ceived the degree of A.M. the same year. He holds the ap- 
pointment of assistant attorney for the B. & O. Railroad. Be- 
sides his practice in the lower courts, he has had notable suc- 
cess in several arguments before the Court of Appeals of 
Maryland. He professes to be divorced from society. 

A classmate then said: "Cross is one of the B. & O. Railroad 
counsel — assistant to John K. Cowen. '66. He takes charge of 
all company cases in the law courts and is one of the busiest 
men I know of. He has an office in the B. & O. Central Build- 
ing. Baltimore, but is generally to be found in one or other of 
the courts. He is not married — hasn't time. He is a mug- 
wump Democrat in politics and what little religion he has is 
of the Presbyterian flavor. I have been in several cases with 
him and find him willing to do the bulk of the work. Physi- 
cally he is a ' buster.' He never fails to get to the annual 
meeting of the Maryland Princeton Alumni Association." 

His letter-head indicates that he is a member of the law 
firm of Cowen. Cross & Bond, whose offices are in the Conti- 
nental Trust Building. Baltimore. He is still unmarried.

After graduation he engaged in the flour business for a 
time. He received the degree of A.M. at our Triennial. In 
1876 he went into the furniture business, in which he has been 
very successful, and is now President of the Smith & Davis 
Manufacturing Company, whose large and imposing establish- 
ment is on the corner of Twentieth and Locust Streets, St. 
Louis. 

He writes : " I am connected with the Episcopal Church,

emy of Science and Museum of Fine Arts. I have just been 
elected on the Democratic ticket to my first political position, 
member of the City Council, which is the upper House, or 
Senate, in our city. I believe a college education is of great 
benefit to a man entering business and will aways be thankful 
for the privilege I enjoyed." 

" Ray " was exceedingly sorry that business matters of the 
greatest importance prevented his being present at the thir- 
tieth anniversary of '73's graduation, to the expenses of which 
he contributed most generously. He says : " I especially re- 
gret not being able to hear Little Van to-morrow and to be 
one of his guests at the Class dinner Monday night," and 
sends his very best regards to all his classmates gathered after 
so many years on the dear old campus. 

He married Cora Paschall Tyler, of Louisville, Ky., Octo- 
ber 17, 1882, and has one child, Ada Paschall Davis, born 
February 5, 1885.

attended private schools in Camden and the West Jersey Acad- 
emy at Brighton, and was finally prepared for College at Will- 
iam Fewsmith's School, on Chestnut Street, Philadelphia. He 
entered our Class in its freshman year, but remained only a 
short time, his health requiring him to stop study and go( 
abroad. 

On his return he studied law and was admitted to the Bar 
of New Jersey as an attorney in February, 1875, and as a 
counsellor in February, 1878. He did not take up the active 
practice of his profession. He was President of the Camden 
Safe Deposit and Trust Company for about six years. He 
now devotes his time to corporate and trust matters. He has 
always lived in Camden. 

He was married October 16, 1889, to Julia Ridgeway Grey, 
of Camden, daughter of the late Attorney-General Samuel H. 
Grey, of New Jersey, and has one child: Samuel Grey, born 
January 15, 1892, whom he hopes to send to Princeton.

MARTIN DENNIS, 29 James Street, Newark, N. J., 
son of Martin Ryerson Dennis (graduated as physi- 
cian and surgeon at University of New York, '47) 
and Josephine Rose, was born in Newark, N. J., January 8, 
1851. 

After graduating he studied medicine for a time with 
a view of becoming a pathological chemist and micro- 
scopist, but subsequently accepted an offer to go into the 
book and publishing business. This occupation lasted but a 
year or two, when he entered the leather trade, and for ten 
years was a manufacturer of leather at Yonkers, N. Y. Dur- 
ing these years he made a close study of this branch of indus- 
trial art, acquiring a technical knowledge and a practical skill 



PRINCETON '73 



in all its details. Having all his life been a special student of 
chemistry as an applied science (his classmates will no doubt 
remember his room in " Old North," which had more the ap- 
pearance of a chemist's laboratory than a living-room), and 
having a bent toward experimenting in order to get at the bot- 
tom of things, he was enabled, as time went on, to make many 
improvements in the art of leather manufacture. 

With this as a foundation he entered the field of original 
research, with the result that in 1893 he obtained patents for 
a new process of mineral tanning, and for a new method of 
preparing mineral tanning agents. In connection with his 
classmates, Harry E. Richards and Walter B. Devereux, a 
Chemical Manufacturing Company was formed to make and 
sell this mineral tanning agent under his patents. This com- 
pany has been successful and both Richards, Devereux and 
Dennis are still associated together. 

Since 1893 he has invented several other useful compounds 
for use in the manufacture of leather, which have proved to be 
both important and valuable, and these have been added to the 
list of articles made and sold by the above-mentioned com- 
pany, whose title is The Martin Dennis Chrome Tannage Com- 
pany, with offices at 458 Market Street, Newark, N. J. Dennis 
received the degree of A.M. in 1876. 

He was married June 26, 1877, to Carrie Cooper Rose, of 
Brooklyn, N. Y., and has had four children: Adelaide, born 
June, 1880, now married to Dr. H. F. Brownlee, of Danbury, 
Conn.; Harold, born December 27, i8g2, in the class of 1904, 
Princeton School of Science; Josephine, born in 1881, died 
March 20, 1887; Mildred, born August 18, 1891, at Newark.

WALTER BOURCHIER DEVEREUX, Glenwood 
Springs. Colo., son of Alvin Devereux (Williams 
College) and Julia Tanner, was born at Deposit, 
N. Y., December 2, 1853. 

After graduation, he spent a portion of a year in scientific 
studies at Princeton, as fellow in Experimental Science ; was a 
member of the United States Transit of Venus Expedition to 
Tasmania in 1874, in which capacity he visited Brazil, Cape- 
town, Australia. New Zealand and the Sandwich Islands. In 
1875 he entered the School of Mines in New York, graduating 
in 1878, and obtaining the first prize for qualitative chemical 
analysis. Meanwhile he had received the degree of A.M. at 
our Triennial. After his graduation from the School of Mines.

he engaged in practical mining and metallurgical work in 
Michigan, North Carolina, Dakota and Arizona. In 1882, he 
visited Southern Mexico, examining mines and investigating 
the resources of the country in behalf of American capitalists ; 
was subsequently in Globe, Arizona, manager of the Takoma 
Copper Mining Company. 

He says in the last Record : " To the useless degrees of 
A.M., E.M., I have added the accomplishment of learning to 
throw ' the diamond hitch ' over the indispensable pack mule, 
and you can take my word for it, Duff's mathematical prob- 
lems were simple compared to the intricacies of the aforesaid 
1 diamond hitch.' To my College French and German, I have 
added a little guttural Apache, which I always avoid improv- 
ing by practice." 

He is President of the First National Bank of Glenwood 
Springs, Colo., the Glenwood Hot Springs Company and the 
Glenwood Light and Water Company. He has been engaged 
in mining the precious metals, and also opening up the coal 
mines of the Grand River Coal and Coke Company, which has 
been consolidated with the Colorado Fuel Company. His 
work has been almost entirely scientific, with a wide range of 
applications. In politics he is an independent. 

" Dev " has had a strenuous life in the West, with a serious 
attack of ill-health thrown in. He successfully combatted the 
latter and seems to have enjoyed the former. While his home 
is in Glenwood Springs, he spends considerable time in New 
York, where he has an office at 99 John Street, and he gives 
occasional lectures on Metallurgy in Columbia University. 

He was married October 28, 1880, to Mary Porter Gregory, 
and has had four children : Walter Bouchier, born December 
26, 1881; William Gregory, born April 12, 1883; Hester, born 
October 12, 1884, died June 2, 1888; Alvin, born December n,

HENRY DILDINE, son of Ralph and Elizabeth 
Eunice (Mills) Dildine, was born at Newton, N. J., 
May 28, 1848. He entered Princeton from Hunt's 
Mills, N. J., and remained only two years, when he was obliged 
to return home on account of his health. A change of climate 
being necessary, he left New Jersey for the far West in June, 
1873, and found the change beneficial to his health. He taught 
school in the winter of 1873-74. During the summer of 1874 
he was compass man of a party for government survey of 
the public lands in northern Montana. The following winter 
he taught, and the summer of 1875 he spent in traveling on 
horseback over the stock ranges of the territory. He then lo- 
cated at Jefferson City, to engage in general merchandise busi- 
ness with his brother, under the firm name of H. & R. W. Dil- 
dine. In February, 1876, he visited New Jersey, was married 
and returned to Montana in May. He was Superintendent of 
Public Instruction for Jefferson County, December 15, 1877, to 
December 15, 1879, and also continued in business until the 
fall of 1880, when he was obliged to stop on account of failing 
health. 

He continued his residence in Jefferson City until 1882. 
After this he lived on a ranch, near Gallatin, Mont., until 1887, 
and from that time until his death on a ranch near Boulder, 
Mont. He died suddenly of hemorrhage of the lungs, in the 
Boulder Bank, while cashing a check, November 22, 1890. He 
is buried in Boulder. After 1882 he had been engaged in 
ranching and stock raising. 

He was married April 19, 1876, at Mendham, N. J., to 
Hugh-Emma Nesbitt, and had one child, Henry Nesbitt, born 
at Jefferson City, Mont., March 24, 1877, and died May 3, 1878. 
His widow was married in June, 1901, to Mr. E. J. Rood, and 
now resides in Mendham, N. J.

ROBERT STOCKTON DOD, Brady, Tex., son of the 
Rev. William Armstrong Dod, D.D. (Princeton, '38), 
and Catherine Stockton, was born January 13, 1855. 
He was the second youngest member of '73. He engaged in 
teaching in Princeton for a year and a half after graduation, 
attending at the same time the Theological Seminary, although 
not as a regular student. Then spent six months abroad. 
Afterward pursued theological studies in the General Theo- 
logical (Episcopal) Seminary, New York City. With several 
others he organized an order for mission work in New York, 
which became the Order of the Holy Cross, and it was through 
his influence that the most distinguished member of the order 
connected himself with it. He received the degree of A.M. 
from Princeton in 1876. 

Dod has not been heard from, but it is known that he is 
now living in Brady, Texas. His health has not been good. 
He engaged in ranching for a time. Two years ago he was 
connected with a bank in Brady and is now working as a civil 
engineer, and preaching occasionally. 

He was married about 1893, and has had four children, two 
living, a boy and girl, and two boys, who have died.

JAMES COLEMAN DRAYTON, 63 Wall Street, New 
York, son of Henry Edward Drayton (Universities of 
Pennsylvania and Paris) and Sarah Hand Coleman, was 
born in Philadelphia, Pa., June 4, 1852. 

On leaving college he traveled for eighteen months in Eu- 
rope. Returning to New York, he studied law, and was ad- 
mitted to the Bar. He was one of the A.M. recipients at our 
Triennial. In the summer of 1876, traveled across South 
America from Pacasmayo to Para, at the mouth of the Ama- 
zon. Returned to New York in November and engaged in the 
practice of law. Went to Florida and Rocky Mountains in the 
spring and summer of 1877 '* m tne autumn started on a tour 
round the world, returning in the autumn of 1878. Spent- 



PRINCETON '73 



the winter of 1879-80 in Egypt and Europe, returning to New 
York in the summer of 1880. Has been President of the New 
York Princeton Alumni Association and has held several posi- 
tions of public trust. 

The following interesting extract is from the last Class 
Record : 

"In the autumn campaign of 1888, being led thereto by 
my own deliberate convictions, I engaged in politics for the 
first time in my life, having also for the first time embraced 
the Democratic principles. I even went to the extent of mak- 
ing speeches to the unhappy inhabitants of the part of New 
Jersey in which I lived. To this fact I attribute the defeat of 
Cleveland that year. Having been warned by these disastrous 
results, I carefully refrained from taking any part in the last 
campaign, with the result which the world at large knows. 
Having been convinced of the important fact, that my absence 
from politics would be to the advantage of the Democratic 
party, I refused various offers to become a candidate for the 
Assembly, the State Senate, and even the Congress of the 
United States, and have now retired, I hope once for all, to 
private life. I feel sure that my classmates will regret that 
those qualities of oratory which they knew during my resi- 
dence in College have been lost to the country, but I feel that 
the interests of the party with which I have cast my lot are of 
greater importance than their mere gratification." 

Bringing his account of himself down to date, he writes: 

" Your first question is as to changes of work. I have al- 
ways continued a member of the Bar of New York, with an 
office at 63 Wall Street, where I have spent my time when I 
had any business to attend to, which during part of the inter- 
vening ten years has not been as great as I might have liked 

" Secondly, as to change of residence. I remained in Amer 
ica from 1893 until the summer of 1895, having a house at 
Tuxedo and apartments in New York. I then left with my 



PRINCETON '73 



children for England, where I took a house in the County of 
Sussex and remained there until the late autumn or winter of 
1 90 1. During those six years I spent my time in bringing up 
my children in the way they should go and restoring my 
health, which had been in rather a bad state when I went over 
there. Incidentally I may mention that I consider this six 
years as happy as any I have had in my life, owing, perhaps, 
to my natural laziness, which, I am sorry to say, has continued 
with me during my life. 

"I have nothing to say as to any increase in my family. I 
have three children — a daughter and two sons. My daughter 
has attained her majority and my eldest son is twenty; my 
youngest boy is fourteen. I regret to say, in answer to your 
fourth, that I have seen very little indeed of any of my class- 
mates. For some curious reason my amusements and occupa- 
tions have not thrown me in contact with any of them. As to 
your fifth, I have continued to be an unworthy member of the 
Protestant Episcopal Church and have attended worship with 
more or less regularity. My political affiliations at present 
are nil. I was a Cleveland Democrat until there ceased to be 
any such, and at present I am a Mugwump. My absence in 
England deprived me of the privilege of voting, so that I have 
not been able to exercise my rights in that direction as an 
American citizen since 1894. 

"As to my views on education and life in general, I fear 
that is too broad a subject for me to undertake. I may men- 
tion, however, that it has been my experience that certainly in 
primary education for boys this country is far ahead of Eng- 
land. Having had experience in both countries, I can speak 
with some little authority. We are more thorough, we have a 
higher standard, and we make the boys work more diligently. 
As to life in general, that is scarcely to be answered offhand, 
but I think as I get older and take things more quietly, I enjoy 
things more with each succeeding year. My health is good. 



PRINCETON '73 



which perhaps accounts for it, and I am now rather inclined 
to take an optimistic than a pessimistic view. That there are 
great troubles in store for us in this country which will cause 
suffering and distress I have very little doubt, but that we shall 
come out of them to be greater than we ever were before is my 
firm belief." 

He was married October 20, 1879, to Charlotte Augusta 
Astor, of New York City, and has three children: Caroline 
Astor, born October 26, 1880; Henry Coleman, born January 
27, 1883, now a student at Harvard and William Astor, born 
November 28, 1888.

HOWARD DUFFIELD. [9 West Twelfth Street. New 
York, son oi Trot. John T. Duuield. D.D.. LL.D. 
^ Princeton. '41)1 WIS born St Princeton. N. J. 
April 9. 1854. After graduation he taught one year at 
Yonkers. N. Y.; entered Princeton Seminary. September, 1874. 
and graduated April. 1877. having meanwhile received the de- 
gree of A.M. in 1876. He was called to the pastorate of Lea- 
cock Presbyterian Church. Leaman Place. Pa., March. 1877; 
Ordained and installed June :l\ 1S77. In 1SS0 he became pas- 
tor of the Beverly. N J . Presbyterian Church. In December. 
188^. he removed from Beverly. N ).. where he had resided for 
four years, to accept the pastoral charge of Westminster 
Church, Detroit. Mich. After eight yens of most interesting 



PRINCETON '73 



and successful work in this field he went to New York City, 
and entered upon the pastorate of the First Presbyterian 
Church. The degree of D.D. was conferred upon him by 
Princeton in i88g. In 1890 he received a call to the Second 
Presbyterian Church of Newark, N. J.; in 1891 to the Western 
Church of Minneapolis, Minn., and also to the Classon Avenue 
Church of Brooklyn, N. Y., all of which invitations he de- 
clined. 

Duff's labors for the past twelve years as pastor of the First 
Presbyterian Church of New York City have been unremitting 
and most fruitful. Of his work he says : " It has fallen to my 
lot to endeavor to restore prestige to a noble church which 
had lost it ; to arrest its disintegration and establish it upon a 
foundation of permanence. This has been practically accom- 
plished. I have tried with all my power to make the Church a 
homelike and hospitable centre of life, and to preach from its 
pulpit a simple and helpful gospel. I have striven to keep 
aloof from the controversies that have agitated the Presby- 
terian Church, and have lent whatever influence I may possess 
to the securing of peace and the exalting and emphasizing of 
the points of argument rather than those of difference." 

He has been honored by election to many offices in the 
Presbyterian Church, and in various organizations connected 
with that Church. He has been Moderator of the Synod of 
New York, four times Moderator of the Presbytery of New 
York; is a Trustee of Sailors' Snug Harbor, of the Leake & 
Watts Orphan House, of the Presbyterian Hospital of New 
York, of Lincoln University, a Director of Princeton Theolog- 
ical Seminary, and Manager of the New York City Mission. 
He is a member of the Princeton Club of New York, of the 
Century Club, of the Society of Colonial Wars and of the Sons 
of the Revolution. He delivered the address of welcome to 
visiting delegates at the Sesquicentennial celebration in 
Princeton in 1896, and has been in frequent demand as an ora- 



PRINCETON '73 



tor on special occasions. All told, he has had a pretty busy 
time of it. In 1894 he was President of the Princeton Semi- 
nary Alumni Association. 

He was married May 24, 1877, to Katharine N. Greenleaf, 
of New York City, and has had seven children : George Green- 
leaf, who died in infancy; Howard Leal, deceased; Eleanor van 
Dyck; Douglas Leal, who died in infancy; Stuart Kennedy, 
Winifred, and Katharine.

NICHOLAS LYMAN DUKES originally entered the 
scientific department at Washington and Jefferson 
College, but having a taste for a regular course in 
college, he changed to the classical course. He joined the 
junior class at Princeton in September, 1871. He was a 
Whig, and took one of the senior oration prizes in that Hall. 
After leaving college he entered the law office of Hon. Daniel 
Kaine, at Uniontown, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, and in 
1875 was admitted to practice at the Bar. In 1876 he received 
the degree of A.M. He obtained from the start a fair busi- 
ness, and was exceedingly popular in his county. In the sum- 
mer of 1882 he was nominated by the Democratic party for the 
General Assembly of Pennsylvania, receiving the highest vote 
cast at the primary election. In the succeeding State election, 
he was elected, receiving the highest vote on his ticket. 

We now come to the saddest part in the career of the man. 
Although heretofore known to be upright and honorable in his 
course and dealings, he became entangled in an intrigue with a 
young woman and was charged with her ruin. The lady's 
father sought him out, and in an encounter with him, Dukes 
fired a pistol, instantly killing him. Never in the annals of 
Pennsylvania did any murder stir up such public sentiment 
against a prisoner. After a bitter, but short trial, he was ac- 
quitted. The acquittal only added fuel to the flame. The 
press denounced the verdict as an outrage on justice, and did 
much toward inciting the other murder which followed. June 
13, 1883, the son of the murdered man walked up behind Dukes 
and shot him. Dukes never spoke and fell dead. Thus within 
one week before the Decennial Reunion of '73, N. L. Dukes 
fell dishonored and disgraced, shot by the hand of an assassin, 
whose defense was a murdered father and a ruined sister. 
After his death a classmate wrote : " In fifteen years' ac- 
quaintance, I always found him kind in manner, honorable in 
his dealings, and Christian-like in his demeanor. ' De mortuis 
nil nisi bonum.' "

JOSEPH HEATLY DULLES. Princeton, N. J., son of the 
Rev. John Welsh Dulles, D.D. (Yale. '44) and Harriet 
Lathrop Winslow. was born in Philadelphia. Pa.. May 27, 
1853. He attended the Tennent School. Bucks County, Penn- 
sylvania, and the Hastings Academy, Philadelphia, entering 
the sophomore class at Princeton in 1870. After graduating 
he engaged in teaching for one year, being Principal of the 
Washington Street Grammar School in Wilkes-Barre. Pa. He 
then entered Princeton Seminary, taking the full three years' 
course and graduating in 1887. with five other members of '73. 
In 1876 he had received the degree of A.M. He was licensed 
to preach by the Presbytery of Philadelphia, May 7. 1877. and 
immediately entered upon a six months' engagement to supply 



PRINCETON '73 



two chapels, at Jenkintown and Edge Hill, Pa. He was or- 
dained an evangelist by the Presbytery of Philadelphia, De- 
cember 9, 1877, and ten days later started for Nebraska City, 
Neb., in acceptance of an invitation to supply the First Pres- 
byterian Church of that city for six months. In June, 1878, he 
finished this engagement. His ill health obliged him to decline 
a call to become a settled pastor, and he came East to begin a 
somewhat protracted season of rest from all ministerial labors. 
In November of the same year he sailed for Europe, making 
the grand tour, including the Nile, Palestine, Constantinople 
and Athens, concluding his stay abroad with three months' 
residence in Hanover, Germany. 

In October, 1879, he returned to Philadelphia. During the 
summer of '80, he supplied, for three months, the Princeton 
Presbyterian Church of that city, and in December began his 
labors as pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church of Belvi- 
dere, N. J. Need of rest led him to resign this charge in Janu- 
ary, 1883. Ill-health prevented his being present at the Decen- 
nial Reunion in 1883. In December, 1883, he set sail for Al- 
giers in search of health, and remained abroad two years, trav- 
eling extensively in Spain, France, Switzerland, Germany, 
Austria and Italy. In the fall of 1885 he returned to America 
in greatly improved health and engaged in occasional preach- 
ing and miscellaneous literary work. 

In October, 1886, he was elected Librarian of Princeton 
Theological Seminary and began work there early in Novem- 
ber. He has enjoyed seventeen years of this congenial office, 
and appreciates the privilege of living in the old college town, 
where he hopes to lay his bones. His published writings have 
been largely of a bibliographical nature. He compiled the 
General Catalogue of Princeton Seminary, 1894, an( * prepares 
the annual Necrological Reports of the Alumni Association of 
the Seminary, of which he is the Secretary. He wrote a his- 
torical sketch of Princeton Seminary, which was published by 



PRINCETON '73 



the Bureau of Education as part of a volume entitled " History 
of Education in New Jersey " ; and he has also been a frequent 
contributor to the religious weeklies. He is one of the editors 
of the Princeton Theological Review. He is unmarried.

sophomore in 1870. After graduation he studied law in Pitts- 
burgh, Pa., and was admitted to the Bar in May, 1875. He 
at once began the practice of law in the same city, and has re- 
mained in the same office (64 Grant Street) for many years. 
He received the degree of A.M. in 1876. A classmate reports 
him as being a very busy lawyer and successful. After leav- 
ing Princeton he resided for a time in Tarentum, Pa. ; then for 
two years in Allegheny; later in Tarentum again until April, 
1883, when he moved to Springdale, his present residence. He 
expected to attend the Reunion, but at the last found he could 
not. He missed it.

more year. 

After graduation he entered the Northern Bank of Ken- 
tucky, at Covington; remained there until February, 1876, 
when he was appointed general Western representative at 
Cincinnati of Park Bros. & Co., manufacturers of Black Dia- 
mond Steel, at Pittsburgh. In June, 1879, he became General 
Passenger Ticket Agent of the Kentucky Central Railroad, 
and in January, 1882, General Western Agent of the C. & O.

burgh Pan-Handle Route, headquarters in Chicago. (Evi- 
dently Jim's traveling expenses were light for a number of 
years.) At the time of the last Record he was in the firm of 
the Palm Leaf Tobacco Works of Covington. 

Since that time he has joined the ranks of the captains of 
industry, as the following will show: In January, 1895, he 
was elected President of the German National Bank of Cov- 
ington, which position he still holds. Two years later he be- 
came President of the Cincinnati, Newport & Covington Street 
Railway Company, and still directs its affairs. In September, 
1899, he was elected President of the Cincinnati Tobacco 
Warehouse Company, but resigned in August, 1900. In May, 
1901, he became President of the Union Light, Heat & Power 
Company, owning and operating the gas and electric light 
properties of Covington. His letter-head shows that he still 
owns and operates the same. And as if these were not enough, 
he is also President of the Young Men's Mutual Life Associa- 
tion of Cincinnati, a Director of the Covington Trust Company 
and of the First National Bank of Cincinnati. He says that 
his literary labors are confined to the annual reports of the or- 
ganizations with which he is connected. He received the de- 
gree of A.M. in 1876. 

In a former Record he said : " I am the same James C. 
Ernst that I always was, I think — same height, same weight, 
' fat as ever,' ' good looking,' not bald and no false teeth." 
This describes him as he appeared at our recent Reunion. 

He was married June 4, 1878, to Llewellyn Matthews Por- 
ter, and has one child, Virginia Morton, born February 7, 1881.

JOHN THOMAS FREDERICKS, Williamsport, Pa., son 
of Newton Wolerton and Mary (Watson) Fredericks, was 
born at Lock Haven, Pa., November 26, 1849. He entered 
college from his native town. After graduation he read law 
for two years in Williamsport, Pa., and was duly admitted to 
the Bar of that state. He got an A.M. at our Triennial. He 
began the practice of law in Williamsport, and has so contin- 
ued up to the present time. For a time he was engaged in the 
lumber and fire-brick business. But this was an aside. He 
has built up a considerable practice and is a man of weight in 
the community in which he lives. That he is a prominent, 
churchman is seen from the fact that he has been a member 
of the Board of Trustees of the Presbyterian Church of the 



PRINCETON '73 



Covenant of Williamsport for over fifteen years, and is now 
its President. He has been a member of the Session of the 
same church for the past three years. 

He writes: "As to my politic affiliations, I am almost 
a party by myself, as I am opposed to some of the theories in 
both of the leading parties, and prefer to pick out the good in 
both. I, however, have my preference for the Democratic 
party, the same as I had when I tramped the campus in 1873." 
Fred's face shows few traces of the passing years. Everyone 
at the Reunion remarked that he looked just about as he did 
thirty years ago. 

He was married on June 28, 1894, to Mary Sheriff, of Mer- 
cer, Pa., and lived a very happy life until April, 1901, when his 
wife died. He has had no children.

EDMUND FRANKLIN GARRETT, son of John 
Walker Garrett and Martha Norton Shinn, was born in 
Philadelphia August 14, 1851, and upon the removal of 
the family to Germantown, attended the well-known academy 
there, of historic memories; later he was sent to Hyatt's Mili- 
tary Academy at Chester, Pa., and finally was fitted for 
Princeton at a preparatory school in Philadelphia. 

Entering Princeton in the Class of '73, he formed friend- 
ships and associations upon which he ever looked back with 
affection. After graduating with his Class, he studied medi- 
cine at the Jefferson Medical College, where he graduated in 
1876, taking the first prize for the best thesis on obstetrics. In 
the same year he received the degree of A.M. from Princeton. 

After serving for short periods in various dispensaries and 
hospitals and attending the auxiliary course of medicine at 
the University of Pennsylvania, he became Resident Physician 
of the Philadelphia Hospital in May, 1877. Being anxious to 
obtain the best practice in his chosen profession, he sailed for 
Europe in 1878 and spent a year in the hospitals of Paris and 
Vienna, at the same time mastering the French and German 
languages. 

Upon returning to Philadelphia, he opened an office in Ger- 
mantown. His talents soon found recognition and his special 
proficiency in microscopical and surgical work gave him a rec- 
ognized place among his associates, and these branches were 
always his particular delight, although he did not allow them 
to divert his attention from the practice of a family physician. 
Throughout his professional career he was well known for his 
purity of life, conscientiousness and thoroughness, while his 
uniform kindness more than endeared him to all whom he met, 
whether professionally or socially. His practice rapidly in- 
creased, and he was soon in the first rank. In 1881 he was 
appointed a member of the staff of the Germantown Hospital 
— purely a labor of love, but prized as an evidence of respect

NATHANIEL ELY GOODWIN was the son of 
Judge Nathaniel E. Goodwin, formerly of Connecti- 
cut, where he received his collegiate education, but 
for the subsequent forty years, of Columbus, Miss., where he 
married Elizabeth Reeves, and raised his family. Nathaniel 
was born at Columbus, Miss., in 1850. 

After leaving college in 1873, he engaged in the study of 
law, at his home, and was admitted to the Bar in 1875. He 
was desirous of engaging actively in the practice of his pro- 
fession, and to some extent did so, but his health began to fail 
him, and he was obliged to relinquish anything that was con- 
fining, having a tendency to pulmonary trouble. Finally, upon 
medical advice, he went to Florida in the fall of 1882, hoping 
that a change of climate might benefit him, but the dread dis- 
ease, consumption, had fastened upon him, and he gradually 
failed. He died April 15, 1883, at Center Hill, Fla., after pain- 
ful suffering, which he bore most patiently. A loving sister, 
who accompanied him to Florida, and watched over him 
through all his sickness, states that he passed away peacefully 
and quietly, fully realizing his condition, and that the hour 
had come. He had not professed religion, yet, while not a 
confessor, he was no doubt a believer. He filled several posi- 
tions of honor and trust in Columbus, Miss., and as a citizen 
and member of the Bar was much respected.

FRANK CALDWELL GRUNDY, 123 Joralemon Street, 
Brooklyn, N. Y., son of Robert Caldwell and Ellen Su- 
zette (Kemper) Grundy, was born in Maysville, Ky., 
October 2, 1852. He pursued his preparatory studies in Day- 
ton, Ohio, and joined our Class in its sophomore year as a 
special student. So he stands recorded in the annual cata- 
logue of the time. He remained in Princeton only a short 
time, and later attended Dartmouth College. He has resided 
in Dayton, Ohio, and in Texas, engaging in work as a Civil 
Engineer and in mercantile pursuits. His present residence is 
given above. He is unmarried.

ROBERT WILLIAM HALL, 1261 Madison Avenue, 
New York City, son of Rev. John Hall, D.D. (Royal 
College of Belfast, Ireland, '45), and Emily Bolton, 
was born April 25, 1850, in Armagh, Ireland. 

After graduation he traveled abroad. Returning to New 
York, he entered the Columbia College School of Mines, and 
took the degree of E.M., in 1876. In the same year he received 
an A.M. from Princeton. After graduation from the school, 
went to Pittsburgh, Pa., to learn something of commercial life ; 
at the end of two years, went back to science, and filled the 
position of analytical chemist in a chemical manufacturing es- 
tablishment for a year. In 1879 he engaged in introducing into 
use patented processes for the manufacture of cheaper and bet- 



PRINCETON '73 



ter illuminating gases, and for the manufacture of a cheap non- 
illuminating gas, to be used for fuel. In 1888 he became As- 
sistant Professor of General Chemistry in the University of 
the City of New York, and in 1892 Professor of Analytical 
Chemistry in the same institution. This important position 
he still holds. 

He writes: "My views upon all subjects — religious, po- 
litical, social and literary — are exactly of the orthodox and re- 
spectable type which you would expect to find held by a mem- 
ber of '73." His statement in the last Record was that he was 
a " free-trader, a monometallist and a Presbyterian." Shall 
we assume that he is these three still? 

" Bob " was very sorry to be absent from the Reunion, and 
says anent this : " I am afraid you will have to leave me out 
of the dinner. The fact is I have become so deaf that such 
meetings are very trying to me. Think of not being able to 
hear when Duff and Van, to say nothing of Jones, have their 
eloquence on tap." The Class are sorry for the cause, as they 
regretted the absence. He is unmarried.

SAMUEL FISHER HAZELHURST, Colorado Springs, 
Colo., son of Samuel Hazelhurst (Yale) and Rebecca 
Fisher, was born in Philadelphia, Pa., September i, 1852. 
He entered Princeton from New Centreville, Pa., and left at 
the close of the Sophomore year. 

For two years thereafter he was a clerk, first in an import- 
ing house and then in a commission broker's office. In the 
Fall of 1873 he began the study of medicine in the University 
of Pennsylvania. He graduated March 10, 1876, with " honor- 
able mention " for his thesis. He was then Assistant Physician 
to the Episcopal Hospital, the Children's Hospital and the 
University Hospital, all in Philadelphia. Subsequently he was 
Resident Physician at the Episcopal Hospital, and afterward 
practiced medicine in Philadelphia, until May, 1882, when, his 
father dying, he started out West, and settled in Colorado 
Springs, where for a time he practiced medicine and later en- 
gaged in business. 

He writes : " Since 1893, when I was badly damaged in the 
financial crash, I have been variously engaged, chiefly in news- 
paper work in Colorado Springs, Cripple Creek and Pueblo, 
beside serving my country during the Cripple Creek war as an 
assistant surgeon for four years." 

Hazelhurst has had and is still having a hard fight for ex- 
istence. He reports some brightening of the skies, but is 
weary with the struggle. He says he has nothing left but 
Trust (above), Wife, Health, Cheerfulness — four pretty good 
possessions. " I stretch out a warm hand," he writes further, 
" to my former classmates across the 2,000 miles of space and 
can only say, ' God bless and prosper each one.' " 

He was married to Mary Thomas, of Philadelphia, Novem- 
ber 12, 1884, and has no children.

HOMER HART HEWITT. Williamsburg. Pa., son of 
Joseph Roller Hewitt and Mary A. Eberly. was born 
at Williamsburg. Pa.. June SI, 1850. He entered col- 
lege from his native town. After graduation he began the 
study of law. but his father's death bringing him into posses- 
sion of an estate, its management compelled him to give up the 
law. But if he no longer practices law. he administers it, as 
his present letter-heading shows. After his name there fol- 
lows the intelligence that he is a dealer in ice-cream, oysters, 
confectionery, cakes, fruit and fancy groceries, and then, in 
smaller type, but underscored. " Also. Justice of the Peace." 
So there we have his ordinary and extraordinary occupation. 
He received the degree of A.M. in 1876. 



PRINCETON '73 



He writes : " I have had no D.D.s or LL.D.s, or any other 
titles added to my name, and believe I still retain ' Dutch ' as 
the comforting Princeton title. I have been a member of the 
Presbyterian Church ever since I joined it in Princeton, and 
am now President of the Board of Deacons of the church in 
Williamsburg. I notice with smiles the honors conferred on 
some of our class since we left college, and no one waves his 
hat more freely than I at these marks of honor to '73. There 
has been nothing so deeply impressed upon my mind since we 
parted and I came into contact with business life than this 
fact — that more should be done to aid bright boys, who would 
honor any college, to get a collegiate education." 

" Dutch " was one of the earliest to come to the Reunion, 
and he took in all the sights with avidity, including the dance 
on Tuesday night. He says he found his '73 badge an " open 
sesame " every time. And there is no " race suicide " about 
him. He is a grandfather. 

He married Martha Fay Fluke, February 13, 1877, who died 
July 16, 1883, leaving one child, Lola, born November 27, 1878, 
now Mrs. O. G. Hare. He married his present wife, Lizzie 
B. Brown, June 2, 1885, by whom he has four children: Will- 
iam B., born March n, 1886; True, born June 29, 1888; 
Theron, born May 15, 1891, and Homer Hart, Jr., born Janu- 
ary 19, 1896.

Craig McLanahan, was born in Chambersburg, Pa., 
August 4, 1851. He entered college from Upton, Pa. After 
leaving Princeton he entered the Columbia Law School of New 
York, graduating with the class of 1876. Admitted to the Bar 
of New York in that year, he continued the practice of law in 
the City of New York for fourteen years. In 1891 he went to 
southern Pennsylvania to take charge of an estate, and since 
then has lived at Millmont, Mercersburg, Pa., with intervals 
of absence in England and on the continent. He is unmarried,

JOHN JACKSON HUBBELL, Newark, N. J., son of 
Algernon Sidney and Julia (Jackson) Hubbell, was born 
in Newark, N. J., June 16, 1853. He was prepared for col- 
lege in the Newark Academy. Immediately after graduation 
he began the study of law. In the fall of 1873 he went to 
Europe, as fellow in modern languages, and spent a year in 
study (in Leipzig) and travel. Upon his return he resumed 
the study of law with his father in Newark, and also in the 
Columbia Law School. He received the degree of A.M. from 
Princeton in 1876. He was admitted to the Bar of New Jer- 
sey as an attorney in February, 1877, and as a counsellor at 
the same term three years later, and in September, 1896, was 
admitted to practice before the United States Supreme Court. 



PRINCETON '73 



Since his admission Hubbell has successfully followed his pro- 
fession in his native city, where he occupies a high place 
among the leading members of the Bar. He has done consid- 
erable literary work, including magazine articles on travel in 
Europe, an article on the celebrated Passion Play of Ober- 
Ammergau for the Newark Daily Advertiser in 1880, and an 
address on the Battle of Red Bank before the New Jersey So- 
ciety of the Sons of the American Revolution. 

He has been for many years the Registrar of the New Jer- 
sey Society of the Sons of the American Revolution. At the 
meeting last April of the National Society of the same he was 
elected one of the Vice-Presidents General. He still resides in 
Newark and still practices law there, and is still unmarried. 
His law office is at 810 Broad Street, Newark.

JOHN WYNNE JONES, 1121 Highland Avenue, Balti- 
more, Md., son of Jenkin and Elizabeth Jones, was born 
in Cendl, Monmouthshire, South Wales, January 14, 1845. 
He came to America with his parents in 1854. His family set- 
tled in Union, Wis., and later in Columbus, Wis. In 1862 he 
was enrolled as a private in the United States army, and was 
soon engaged in some of the fiercest struggles of the war. He 
was advanced to the grade of sergeant, and was honorably dis- 
charged from the service, July 4, 1865, at Mobile, Ala. After 
the war he settled in Cincinnati, O., from which place he en- 
tered the Edge Hill Academy in Princeton in 1867, an d the 
college two years later. 

He began his theological studies in Princeton Seminary in 



PRINCETON '73 



the fall of 1873, from which he graduated three years later. 
He was licensed to preach by the Presbytery of Cincinnati, 
September 15, 1875, and ordained to the gospel ministry by the 
Presbytery of Monmouth, May 16, 1876. In the same year he 
received the degree of A.M. From this time until March, 
1878, he was pastor of the Presbyterian church at Tuckerton, 
N. J., when he accepted a call to the Tome Street Welsh Pres- 
byterian Church of Canton, Md. He preached to this charge 
both in Welsh and English. In 1880 he founded a Sunday 
School at Highlandtown, Baltimore, and two years later built 
the present Memorial Church in that part of Baltimore. The 
twenty-fifth anniversary of his pastorate, for it had been one 
continuous service since his coming to Baltimore from Tuck- 
erton in 1878, was celebrated elaborately and enthusiastically 
on April 5, 6 and 7 of this year. 

A Baltimore paper said at the time : " Dr. Jones is perhaps 
one of the most popular ministers in the Presbyterian Church 
in this city, and is regarded as one of the ablest members of 
the Baltimore Presbytery." He established the People's In- 
stitute and the Bethany Home for Girls, of Baltimore. " Jones 
did it " is a well-remembered cry of our college days. And 
Jones has been doing it — in another sense — ever since. The 
last Record reported him as being President and Treasurer of 
the People's Institute of Baltimore, Vice-President for Mary- 
land of the International Sabbath School Association, member 
of the International Association of Christian Workers, mem- 
ber of the Academy of Political and Social Science of Phila- 
delphia, and that he was delegate to the General Assembly of 
the Presbyterian Church, Portland, Ore., May, 1892. 

He writes : " I am practicing at the old stand, the Memo- 
rial Church which I built twenty years ago. April 5, 6 and 
7th celebrated the twenty-fifth year of my pastorate in Balti- 
more — a city of glorious record. I have no changes to men- 
tion either in work, residence or family. I meet Cross and 



PRINCETON '73 



Ruddell occasionally. Law agrees with them. They are well- 
favored — no leanness anywhere. I cannot convince Cross 
' that it is not good for a man to live alone.' He always seems 
very happy without a ' helpmeet,' so I might say of a minis- 
terial classmate of ours. I am very happy in my church rela- 
tions ; have had storms, but safely weathered all, without loss 
of ship or spar. My politics are those of an American citizen 
rather than any ' iron-clad ' party relations. My views on 
education are liberal. I have three boys, now at Princeton, 
who are educated through my influence, without any expense 
to parents. Received degree of D.D. from Gale Presbyterian 
College, Wisconsin, in 1900, on what ground I do not know." 
He was married July 19, 1876, to Annie Helen Harvey, of 
Princeton, N. J., and has four children: Harvey Llewellyn, 
born in Tuckerton, N. J., November 22, 1877; Helena May, 
born in Baltimore, Md., December 31, 1879; Charlotte Abbott, 
born in Baltimore, Md., November 26, 1881, and Edith Wynne, 
born May 27, 1885. Mrs. Jones died June 20, 1901, and was 
buried in Princeton. His son Harvey graduated from the 
University in the class of 1900.

Coan and Elizabeth (Nichols) Lathrop, was born at 
Newark, N. J., April 9, 1853. 
He graduated from Bellevue Hospital Medical College 
February 25, 1875; was Resident Physician and Surgeon in 
the Charity Hospital, Jersey City, for one year from October, 
1875. He received the degree of A.M. in 1876 and later went 
to Colorado on account of developing consumption; regained 
his health and returned to the East in 1878 ; had a relapse and 
immediately returned to Colorado and again was apparently 
restored to full health; held various positions as Health Offi- 
cer of Denver, Secretary of Colorado State Medical Society, 
Vice-President of the same, member of State Board of Medical 
Examiners. He again lost his health and died in Denver, 
May 28, 1889. He was unmarried.

ROBERT LINN LAWRENCE, Bogota, N. J., son of 
Thomas Lawrence and Margaret Rembert, was born 
at Sparta, N. J., October 4, 1851. 
He studied law at Hamburg, with the late ex-Governor 
Daniel Haines, from September, 1873, to May, 1874, and com- 
pleted his studies at Newton, N. J., with Hon. Thomas Ander- 
son. He received the degree of A.M. in 1876. He was ad- 
mitted to the Bar in November, 1876; practiced at Newton 
until February, 1879. He was associated with Stewart Ra- 
palje, of New York, in conducting the Criminal Law Magazine 
since its inception, January 1, 1880, until 1883. He was a 
member of the law firm of Babbitt & Lawrence, 76 Montgom- 
ery Street, Jersey City, N. J., from 1883 until 1890, and since 



PRINCETON '73 



that time in the firm of Bedle, Edwards & Lawrence until 
April i, 1903, when he began practicing by himself. In 1899, 
he moved from Jersey City to Bogota, Bergen County, N. J., 
where he now resides. His law office is at 15 Exchange Place, 
Jersey City. He is one of the editors of "Rapalje & Law- 
rence's Law Dictionary." 

A classmate wrote of him for the last Record : " Bob is as 
gray as if he were sixty. He has achieved a good deal of 
prominence in Hudson county, in this State, where he is prac- 
ticing law. He is undoubtedly an able lawyer, particularly 
well qualified for the trial of jury cases, and is considered one 
of the best lawyers of Jersey City." The past ten years have 
increased his grayness, as, no doubt, they had enhanced his 
legal attainments. 

He was married, December 18, 1893, to Lillian May Fisher, 
in Jersey City, and has no children.

HENRY ARDISS LINN, 4729 Champlain Avenue, 
Chicago, 111., entered the class in sophomore year and 
remained through the junior year. He spent the 
next year at home in Waukesha, Wis., being in poor health. 
During the summer of 1873 he was engaged in field work in 
North Dakota for the Northern Pacific Railroad, in their land 
department, and during the following winter in school teach- 
ing in Pine City, Minn. During the summer of 1874 he was 
idle in St. Paul, " enjoying Jay Cooke's panic." From Octo- 
ber, 1874, to February, 1878, he was in the service of the In- 
dian Bureau of the U. S. Interior Department at Sisseton, 
D. T., " civilizing the only true Americans," by schooling, 
office work, teaching trades, farming, etc. 

In February, 1878, he drove overland to Denver to marry 
Miss Emma M. Brackett, who had preceded him thither from 
Pine City for her health's sake, his own health being much 
broken from overwork. He was then, 1878-79, the owner and 
driver of a stage line from Cheyenne, Wyo., northwest one 
hundred miles. This reinstated his health. From 1880 till 
1882 he engaged in prospecting for gold and silver in the 
Rocky Mountains of Wyoming. In 1883 he made prepara- 
tions for stock-raising, but the failure of his wife's health com- 
pelled him to take her to Wisconsin for medical aid. In the 
fall of 1884 he began service in the general offices of the Chi- 
cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway Co., temporarily, as 
he supposed, but permanently, as it proved. His wife died in 
October, 1891. He was married a second time in November, 
1895, to Mrs. M. A. Ratcliff. 

He writes : " So we stand today, happy in our home, but 
not in love with Chicago. My work as fuel clerk, accounting 
and auditing the coal and wood expense of this railway, keeps 
me down at the desk most unreasonable hours, but I cannot 
think of failing when ' Report ' day comes." He still cherishes 
the memories of '73 and wishes he might see " Smiley " Wood- 
ruff, and others.

JAMES HENDRIE LLOYD, 3918 Walnut Street, Phila- 
delphia, Pa., son of E. Morris Lloyd and Julia D. Hendrie, 
was born in Doylestown, Pa., December 1, 1853. 
He studied law for eighteen months after graduation, at 
Doylestown, Pa., then attended the medical course of the Uni- 
versity of Pennsylvania, winter of 1875-76. He received the 
degree of A.M. from Princeton in 1876 and that of M.D. was 
conferred upon him in 1878, by the University of Pennsyl- 
vania; was then appointed Assistant Physician to Nervous 
Dispensary, Hospital of University of Pennsylvania; in 1888, 
he was appointed Visiting Physician to the Nervous and In- 
sane Department of the Philadelphia Hospital. In addition to 
these he has had the following appointments : Neurologist to 



PRINCETON '73 



the Philadelphia Hospital ; Physician to the Methodist Episco- 
pal Hospital; Physician to the Home for Crippled Children; 
Consulting Neurologist to the Training School for Feeble- 
Minded Children at Elwyn ; and Consulting Neurologist to the 
State Hospital for the Chronic Insane at Wernersville. These 
tell sufficiently of his success and standing as a physician. 

He writes : " Since our vigintennial I have been actively 
engaged in the practice of medicine, and have been devoting 
myself especially to nervous and mental diseases, and to liter- 
ary work in my specialty. As for my success in this field, 
others are better judges than myself. I have published a good 
deal, and may mention particularly my contributions to Der- 
cum's ' System of Nervous Diseases ' ; Wilson's ' Text-Book 
of Applied Therapeutics ' ; Starr's ' Text-Book of the Dis- 
eases of Children ' ; Hirst's ' System of Obstetrics ' ; and 
' The Twentieth Century Practice of Medicine.' In all these 
Systems or Encyclopedias I have written on various subjects 
in neuro-pathology. For the past two years I have been 
Editor-in-Chief of the Philadelphia Medical Journal. 

" I have but few items of personal interest to communicate. 
My family life has been most happy, and my professional life 
has been one of unremitting labor and of some moderate at- 
tainment. My Princeton loyalty has always been a strong 
sentiment within me, and one that seems to grow as the 
years pass by. My recollections of my classmates are vivid, 
and my feelings for all of them are of sincere regard. This 
coming reunion, which will mark our thirtieth anniversary, 
will find me unprepared to realize that so much of our life has 
sped, and that so many of our comrades have joined the silent 
majority. 

" In politics I am a Free-Trade Republican (if you know 
what that is), and on the subject of theology my opinion 
would take more space to unfold than they are worth to any 



PRINCETON '73 



man. On the subject of education I have one very positive 
opinion, and that is that Princeton should have a medical 
school, and that it should be located in Philadelphia. I be- 
lieve also in the A.B. degree and in the old-fashioned college 
course that leads to it. I hope on this subject President Wil- 
son will never fall under the hypnotic influence of either Presi- 
dent Eliot or President Butler, and I do not think he will. 

" My view of ' life in general ' is that it is a series of varie- 
gated and uncertain phenomena without much real substance 
at the bottom of it; but such as it is I believe in making the 
best of it, and hence I hope to be present at our reunion." 

He was married, October 15, 1879, to Susan D. Newell, at 
Haddonfield, N. J., and has had four children: Marion, born 
August 18, 1880 ; James Paul, born December 2, 1881, a mem- 
ber of the class of 1904, Princeton; William Hendrie, born 
February 26, 1885, a member of the class of 1906, Princeton, 
and Virginia, born November 28, 1890, who died July 25, 1892.

THOMAS McCULLOCH, 1035 Second Street, Louis-

sophomore. 

McCulloch made glad the heart and spared the hand of the 
Secretary by sending the following full account of himself, 
with injunction to condense, which is not obeyed : 

" After graduation I taught two years in Airy View Acad- 
emy, Port Royal, Pa., and assisted in preparing some young 
men for Princeton, La Fayette and Washington and Jefferson 
Colleges. In 1875 I went into the manufacturing business 
under the name of Brusher & McCulloch, manufacturing 



PRINCETON '73 



handles and other hardwood novelties at Port Royal, Pa. 
In 1876 I received the degree of A.M. from Princeton. In 
1 88 1 we moved to Harrisburg, Pa., and incorporated under the 
name of the Harrisburg Handle Co., of which I was Secretary. 
In 1892 we moved the plant to Bristol, Term., and I became 
President and General Manager. In 1898 our Company 
bought out at receiver's sale the Standard Handle Co., of 
Knoxville, Tenn., and consolidated both under the name of 
the American Handle Co. with office at Knoxville, Tenn. This 
necessitated my moving to Knoxville, where I lived until July, 
1 90 1, when I formed a consolidation with two other compa- 
nies, one in Louisville, Ky., and one in Huntington, W. Va., 
with principal office in Louisville, Ky. I moved to Louisville 
and became Assistant General Manager of the new Company, 
now called the Turner, Day & Woolworth Handle Co. Our 
business is an extensive one, covering the world, and our sales 
aggregating nearly one million dollars annually. 

" I, with my wife and two boys, are members of the Fourth 
Avenue Presbyterian Church, Rev. J. Kinsey Smith, D.D., 
pastor. Dr. Smith is recognized to be by all odds the ablest 
and most courageous minister in the City of Louisville, if not 
in the State of Kentucky. Our church relations are very 
pleasant. I am still a Cleveland Democrat, and will always 
be so. Hope I may have the pleasure and privilege of voting 
for him in 1904 against the ' Strenuous one.' 

"Princeton is now, always has been, and I trust will con- 
tinue on the only safe educational track. There is no short 
road to knowledge. Latin and Greek must always be strongly 
in evidence in the Princeton curriculum, and with these, plenty 
of mathematics. On this foundation a young man may build 
out ad infinitum. 

"One does not reach the thirtieth anniversary of his gradu- 
ation without having looked at life from many view-points. 
Considering the short time we have to do with this life, and

the eternity of a new life before us, probably Dr. Smith, in one 
of his sermons recently, when he said, ' there was one thing 
God could not do, and that was to make a Christian out of a 
lazy man,' emphasized a very vital view-point of life. My 
oldest boy will be ready for the sophomore class one year from 
next September, and I hope he will make a better use of his 
college days than his father did. My second boy should be 
ready the year following. 

" On February 25, 1885, I was married to Clara G. Myers 
at Columbia, Pa. There have been born to us seven children 
— Montgomery Forster, born February 21, 1886; John Andrew 
Myers, born May 1, 1887; Marguerite, born January 13, died 
January 18, 1889; Elizabeth Kunkel, born April 23, 1890;

Hugh Brady and Isabella Jane (Kirkpatrick) McCune, 
was born May 5, 1850, at Oakville, Pa., and entered

THOMAS McGOUGH, Franklin, Pa., son of Peter and 
Sarah (Marshall) McGough, was born in Parker, Pa., 
November 7, 1851. He entered Princeton from 
Franklin, Pa., in the sophomore year. After graduation he 
studied law at Parker's Landing, Pa. He engaged for a time 
in banking business, and then took up the practice of law 
in Franklin, Pa., where he has resided ever since. In 1876 
Princeton gave him the A.M. degree. He served for six years 
as district attorney of his county. He spent the summer of 
1890 in Europe. From his well-known persistence of char- 
acter, he is probably what he was ten years ago, " a modest 
upholder of the Confession of Faith, not being a mugwump 
either in religion or politics." 



PRINCETON '73 



He writes : " Little of importance to the world has hap- 
pened to me since 1893. However, our household has been 
blessed with two sweet little babies; yet, on the other hand, 
I have served a term in the Pennsylvania Legislature. I am 
practicing law, and enjoying life in a peaceful and conserva- 
tive manner." He was to have attended the Reunion, but 
missed it and is sorry. 

He was married in January, 1885, to Lydia Collins McCal- 
mont. One son was born to them, but died in infancy. His 
wife died in November, 1889. He was married a second time, 
June 24, 1896, to Katherine Cowles, in Franklin, Pa. They 
have two children : Sarah, born December 30, 1899, an d Kath- 
erine, born March 17, 1902.

SAMUEL McLANAHAN, Lawrenceville, N. J., son of 
James Craig and Sarah (Kennedy) McLanahan, was 
born near Greencastle, Pa., February 12, 1853, and spent 
his boyhood in his native town. He prepared for college at 
the Academy, Chambersburg, Pa., and entered the sophomore 
class in 1870. He was active in Whig Hall and the Philadel- 
phian Society, was a Lit. editor, and was appointed to deliver 
the Metaphysical Oration as a Commencement honor. 

He studied during the winters of '73-4 and '74-5 at Union 
Seminary, New York, and during that of '75-6 at Princeton 
Seminary, from which he was graduated in the latter year. 
He received the degree of A.M. at our Triennial. He was 
licensed in 1876 and ordained in 1877 by the Presbytery of 



PRINCETON '73 



Carlisle. He served the church of Waynesboro, Pa., from 
1876 until 1880, when he became the first pastor of the Lafay- 
ette Square Presbyterian Church, Baltimore, Md.. He re- 
signed in 1893, but remained in Baltimore in active charge of 
the mission work of the Presbytery, and of the Sustentation 
scheme of the Synod, which had been previously organized by 
him. In 1895 he accepted a call to the Lawrenceville Church, 
which he now serves. 

While in Baltimore he was an officer of the Sabbath School 
and Presbyterian Associations, Secretary for many years of 
the Ministerial Union of all denominations, and of the Evan- 
gelical Alliance, and Moderator of both Presbytery and Synod. 
He has since been Moderator of th Presbytery of New Bruns- 
wick and represents this Presbytery upon the Synod's perma- 
nent committee in charge of Home Mission Work in New Jer- 
sey. He has been three times a member of the General As- 
sembly, and was chairman of the Committee on Systematic 
Beneficence at the session of 1894. 

He has prepared a number of published reports on practi- 
cal forms of Church activity, has written occasionally for the 
religious press, has contributed some reviews to the Presby- 
terian and Reformed Review, has furnished articles and] 
leaflets for the use of the Home Mission Board and has re- 
cently had articles in The Bible Student upon Theories of the 
Origin of Lord's Supper, The Kingdom of God, and The Em- 
phasis in the Preaching of Paul. 

In religion, adopting van Dyke's phrase, he claims to be a 
" Christian Presbyterian." In politics he is an independent, 
with republican leanings, and a warm admirer of President 
Roosevelt — in spite of the straps and spurs. In his general 
view of life, while he sees much occasion for earnest work on 
the part of good men such as the members of Seventy-three, 
he is an optimist, because he believes in Jesus Christ as the Sa- 
viour of the World.

He was married October 17, 1877, to Maud, daughter of 
Addison and Sarah Imbrie, of Greencastle, Pa. She died in 
Baltimore in February, 1884. He married, June 26, 1889, 
Mary Minor, daughter of Bishop James Allen and Mary Minor 
Latane, of Baltimore. His children are: James Craig, born 
April 28, 1881, who was graduated from Princeton, 1901, and 
Maryland University Law School, 1903: he will practice in 
Baltimore; Sarah, born July 21, died August 4, 1883; Allen, 
born July 3, 1890, now a member of Lawrenceville School;

SIMON JOHN McPHERSON, Lawrenceville, N. J., son 
of John Finlay McPherson and Jeannette Fraser, was 
born January 19, 1850, in Mumford, N. Y. Owing to 
sickness in the senior year he was obliged to drop into '74, and 
graduated with that class. He was one of the Junior Orators 
of '73 and took the Maclean prize. He became tutor of math- 
ematics upon graduation, with a view to making teaching his 
occupation for life, being constrained to this course, by weak- 
ness of the throat and lungs. But at the end of a year in the 
tutorship he found his health so much improved that he en- 
tered Princeton Seminary. He was licensed to preach, April 
29, 1877, in Rochester, N. Y., by the Presbytery of Rochester. 
In the following June he delivered the Master's Oration for 



PRINCETON '73 



the class of '74. After two years in Princeton Seminary he 
went abroad and spent fifteen months in travel and study, 
principally in Germany, Greece, Egypt and Palestine. He en- 
tered the Seminary again in the fall of 1878, and graduated in 
1879. After declining a call to the Fourth Presbyterian 
Church of Indianapolis, in January, 1879, he received a call 
from the First Presbyterian Church of East Orange, N. J., in 
May, and accepted it, beginning work there in September. He 
was ordained, September 24, 1879, in East Orange, by the 
Presbytery of Morris and Orange. In October, 1882, he was 
dismissed to the Presbytery of Chicago, having accepted a 
unanimous call to the Second Presbyterian church of Chi- 
cago. In Chicago his record was highly creditable to '73, and 
he was universally acknowledged not only as one of the lead- 
ing pastors of that city, but also as one of the strongest men in 
the Presbyterian Church. 

In the summer of 1899 he was elected Head Master of the 
Lawrenceville School, New Jersey, one of the largest and best- 
equipped secondary schools in the country. He accepted the 
appointment and entered upon its duties in September of the 
same year. There he remains, having under his care 350 boys, 
the most of whom are being fitted for college. Princeton gave 
him an A.M. in 1877. He received the honorary degree of 
D.D. from Knox College in 1883, and the same degree from 
Princeton at the time of the Sesquicentennial celebration in 
1896, being the only Princeton alumnus thus honored on that 
august occasion. He has been frequently called upon for ora- 
tions and addresses on special occasions. He will always be 
claimed by '73, although he had the misfortune not to gradu- 
ate with that class. He is a member of the Board of Trustees 
of the University. 

He was married, May 15, 1879, to Lucy Belle Harmon, of 
Danville, 111., and has five children : Jeannette, born Novem- 
ber 7, 1880; Oscar Harmon, born March 9, 1883, and now a

sophomore in Princeton; Elizabeth, born August 26, 1884, 
now a freshman in Smith College ; John Finlay, born January 
15, 1888, a member of the third form of the Lawrenceville 
School, and Paul Crerar, born January 15, 1893.

EUGENE LUZETTE MAPES, son of Sanford Hawley 
and Ruth Rumsey Mapes, was born in Florida, N. Y., 
January 17, 1847. He left Princeton in 1869, and grad- 
uated at Union College in the class of '73. He then attended 
the Union Theological Seminary, New York City, completing 
the full course. He then engaged in teaching, and from 1876 
to 1879 was principal of the school in the Juvenile Asylum at 
High Bridge in New York. Resigning, he was made pastor of 
Romeyn chapel, New York, a mission connected with Dr. John 
Hall's church. He served as pastor of Romeyn from 1879 to 
1880, and then returned to the Juvenile Asylum school and re- 
mained there as principal for two years, resigning in 1882. 
In 1882 he married Addie Freeland, of Philadelphia, and 
of this union there were three children: Harold T. Mapes, 
Mary Edith (who died in infancy), and Ruth. The day fol- 
lowing marriage the couple sailed for Europe, where they re- 
mained three years, the time being spent in travel and study. 
The latter course was chiefly pursued by Mapes at Leipsic 
University in Germany, and while there he was appointed 
pastor of the Leipsic American Presbyterian chapel. He re- 
turned to America in 1885 and immediately upon his arrival 
was called to the pastorate of the Presbyterian church at 
Washingtonville, N. Y., serving in that capacity until 1887. 
In December of 1887, he received a call to the First Presby- 
terian Church, of Carlisle, Pa., and moved there with his fam- 
ily in February, 1888. He was duly installed pastor of the 
church on June 10, of the same year, and in 1891 received from 
Dickinson College the degree of Doctor of Divinity. He died 
suddenly of apoplexy June 23, 1892, aged forty-five years. 

Mapes was a man, faithful and hard-working, earnest in 
whatever he undertook. He was a zealous Christian, kind- 
hearted, gentle and generous, and possessed the warmest 
friendship of all his acquaintances. He was an efficient pas- 
tor, an eloquent preacher, and one who had endeared himself, 
not only in the hearts of his congregation, but in those of the 
people of the community.

DAVID THOMAS MARVEL, 925 Market Street, Wil- 
mington, Del., son of Josiah P. and Harriet Ann 
(Pepper) Marvel, was born in Georgetown, Del., No- 
vember 2, 1 85 1. His ancestors were English, and settled in 
Delaware some time before 1700. Many of them held public 
positions of trust, although they have mostly been engaged 
in farming. Marvel's early home was on a farm that had been 
in the family for about two hundred years. He received his 
early education at the free schools and the Academy of his na- 
tive place. 

Soon after his graduation he began the study of law with 
the Hon. Thomas F. Bayard, and also taught mathematics in 
Reynolds Academy, Wilmington, Del., during 1873 and 1874. 



PRINCETON '73 



In November of the latter year he went to Washington with 
Senator Bayard as his secretary, remaining there for three 
years. He received the degree of A.M. from Princeton in 
1876. In 1877 he entered the Harvard Law School, and was 
admitted to the Bar in Georgetown, Del., in 1879, and began 
practice there. While at Harvard he naturally took much in- 
terest in the athletic sports there and was in the Law School 
boat crew and was captain of the Law School football team. 
In February, 1880, he purchased an interest in the Sussex 
Journal and edited it until February, 1883, when he disposed 
of his interest and devoted his whole time to the practice of 
his profession. 

In 1881 he was chosen clerk of the House of Representa- 
tives of Delaware, and was made County Attorney for Sussex 
in 1882, an office which he held for six years. He was Inspec- 
tor-General on the staff of Governor Hall from 1878 to 1882, 
and on the staff of Governor Stockley from 1882 to 1886. This 
gave him the rank of Brigadier-General. He was secretary of 
the State Board of Education for two years and president of 
the School Board of Georgetown for four years. In January, 
1 89 1, he was appointed Secretary of State, which office he held 
for two years, when he was appointed associate judge of the 
Supreme Court of the State of Delaware. This was a life ap- 
pointment, but when the new constitution went into effect 
in 1897, providing for an equal number of Republicans and 
Democrats on the bench of the Supreme Court, he, being a 
Democrat too many, lost his place. He is now practicing law 
in Wilmington. 

" Dave " was president of the class from 1873 to 1898, 
twenty-five years. That is the longest term of office he ever 
enjoyed. Seventy-three was honored in that he was chosen 
to preside over the Alumni Luncheon of our Reunion Com- 
mencement. And he did the job with dignity, decorum and 
despatch.

ROBERT BRENT MITCHELL, 508 California Street, 
San Francisco, Cal., son of Joseph Thomas Mitchell

in Frederick County, Md. He came to Princeton from Balti- 
more and was with our Class during the sophomore and junior 
years. He then studied law and began its practice in Balti- 
more. Afterward he went west and was for a time at Virginia 
City, Nev., subsequently moving to San Francisco, where he 
continued in legal practice, as a member of the firm of Pierson 
& Mitchell, until March, 1902, at which time he went into 
stock brokerage and is now of the firm of Mitchell, Mulcahy & 
Co., with offices at 28 New Montgomery Street, San Francisco. 
He sends his kind regards to the Class and his regrets that he 
could not attend the Reunion. He reports no change in his 
family. 

He was married October 8, 1878, at Virginia City, Nev., to

JAMES DOUGLAS MOFFAT, 3845 Sanford Street, Nor- 
wood Park, Chicago, 111., son of Professor James Clement 
Moffat (Princeton, '35,) and Mary Matthews Moffat, 
was born January 12, 1853, in Cincinnati, O. He left the Class 
during the senior year, but was given the degree of A.B. in 
1879. 

After leaving college he entered the office of Mr. Ashbel 
Welch, then chief engineer of the Pennsylvania Railroad in 
Trenton. After four years he decided that architecture was 
more to his taste and went to New York with a view of carry- 
ing out his studies in that direction. " With more or less 
success " he followed this profession, sometimes being em- 
ployed in other architects' offices and sometimes practicing on 
his own hook until the year 1889, when he concluded to take 
a trip through England, Scotland and the continent, prepara- 
tory to his assisting Architects Huss & Buck in their competi- 
tive designs for the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, in New 
York City. After his marriage in 1891, he found that archi- 
tecture was too uncertain an occupation for a married man, 
and in February, 1892, he accepted a position in the chief engi- 
neer's office of the New York Central & Hudson River Rail- 
road, in New York City. There he remained until February, 
1899, when he was engaged by Mr. H. W. Putnam to go to 
San Diego, Cal., and design and construct a large residence 
for him. While there he met Shaw. In November of the 
same year he returned to New York and remained until he re- 
ceived an offer from the chief engineer of the Chicago & 
Northwestern Railway to a good position in Chicago, which 
he now holds. He is living comfortably on a farm at Nor- 
wood Park, about eleven miles out of the city. 

Regretting that he has no photograph to send, he says: 
" I look about the same as I did twenty-five years ago. I have 
all my hair yet and it is not very gray." So the class must 
depend upon their memories to visualize him as he is.

SAMUEL LAMB MORRIS, Fort Wayne, Ind., son of 
John and Teresa J. (Fair) Morris, was born in Auburn, 
Ind., September 15, 1849. He entered Princeton from 
his native town, having attended the public schools of that 
place. After graduation he studied law with his father, Judge 
Morris, in Fort Wayne and was admitted to the Bar in Octo- 
ber, 1875, and at once took up the practice of his profession 
in that city. He became a member of the firm of Morris, Bell, 
Barrett & Morris. This by elimination, or exclusion, or un- 
distributed middle became Morris, Barrett & Morris, which in 
turn by contraction or subtraction or some such process be- 
came the present firm of Barrett & Morris. And a very good 
firm it is said to be. He received the degree of A.M. in 1876. 



PRINCETON '73 



For the last Record he wrote: "I have been quite suc- 
cessful in my profession, have a splendid practice and am con- 
tented in every way." " My conscience," he added, " is very 
quiet, except occasionally when memory calls up some pranks 
of college days " — a truly tender conscience, to let its repose 
be broken thus. Ten years ago he weighed 160 pounds. He 
does not say how much he weighs now. Yet he does say: 
" It is rumored that I am growing better looking as I grow 
older, and the prevailing impression is that I am somewhat 
stouter. Whether this is an indication of old age or not I 
do not know, but according to the French measurement, I feel 
almost as young as I did when I was in Princeton." 

He regrets that he could not attend the Reunion, and that 
his classmates seem to avoid Fort Wayne. 

He was married October 10, 1877. to Carrie E. Ambos, of 
Columbus. Ohio, and has had three children : Gertrude Ethel, 
born October 5. 1878; infant daughter died; John, born Octo- 
ber 8. 1882, died February 27, 1883: all born in Fort Wayne. 
His daughter Gertrude is married to Mr. Percy G. Olds, a

THEODORE SHIELDS NEGLEY, Kenneth, Pa., son 
of George G. and Eleanor Boyd Negley, was born in 
East Liberty, Pittsburg, Pa., June 17, 1846. He spent 
three years in Princeton Theological Seminary; was licensed 
by Presbytery of New Brunswick, April 25, 1876. He received 
the degree of A.M. in June, 1876. His first pastoral call was 
to the Presbyterian Church of East Brady, Pa. He was or- 
dained and installed by the Presbytery of Clarion, December 
5, 1876, at East Brady, Pa. In 1877 he was called as pastor 
of the Bethesda Presbyterian Church, Rimersburg, Pa., in 
connection with East Brady, and labored in these two 
churches till February 1, 1882, when he received calls from 
the Presbyterian churches of Wilcox and Ridgway, Pa. He 



PRINCETON '73 



served this double charge for seven years, having his home at 
Wilcox. In 1889 he moved to Kenneth, Fayette Co., Pa., hav- 
ing accepted a call to the Little Redstone Church there. He 
is still holding the fort in this old congregation. In 1890 he 
became stated supply of Fayette City congregation, which 
relation still continues. He had been stated supply for two 
years of the Franklin Presbyterian Church. 

Negley has been for two years stated clerk of Redstone 
Presbytery, and now holds this office. In 1885 he was a com- 
missioner from Clarion Presbytery to the General Assembly 
that met in Cincinnati, and again in 1900 from Redstone Pres- 
bytery to the Assembly at St. Louis. 

He writes : " I have had an abundance of work in a large 
field during my entire pastoral life, and am still preaching 
the old gospel and trying to build up saints and to win sinners. 
No special worldly honors have crowned my brow. In 1899 
I had, with my wife, a very pleasant trip through the British 
Isles, France, Belgium and Holland. I have had several pleas- 
ant chats with Sharpe, when in Chambersburg, and have also 
met North in his home. I have called at the office of Ellis 
several time, but never found him in. He is too busy." Ex- 
cept these, he has met very few of the members of '73 since 
leaving Princeton. 

He was married, October 25, 1876, to Susan Clark Todd, in 
Westfield, Mass., and has had three children : Mary Hunter, 
born October 8, 1877, who died June 17, 1892; George Decker, 
born March 5, 1880, now in business in Pittsburgh with the 
Fruit Dispatch Company; Jeannette Boyd, born April 4, 1884, 
who graduated from the Pennsylvania State Normal School 
at California, Pa., in 1901, and is now in the Wilson Female 
College at Chambersburg.

HERMAN HAUPT NORTH, Bradford, Pa., son of 
James and Susanna Matilda (Strouse) North, was 
born at Paterson, Pa., February i, 1852, and came to 
Princeton from his native place. 

He studied law in the Albany Law School, from which he 
graduated in 1875. He then spent one year in the law office 
of McDonald & Butler, Indianapolis, Ind., and in 1877 located 
for the practice of law in Huntingdon, Pa., being a partner of 
K. Allen Lovell, Esq. In 1879 he moved to Bradford, Pa., 
where he has resided ever since, engaging with much success 
in his professional work. Princeton gave him the degree of 
A.M. in 1876. 

North, as a J. O. and a lawyer, was bound to get into poli- 



PRINCETON '73 



tics, with or without his seeking political preferment. This 
has come to him. In 1883 he was elected to the City Council 
of Bradford, and he has served three terms as a representa- 
tive in the State legislature, and as such made his influence felt 
on the side of honest government. At present he is serv- 
ing his second term as postmaster of Bradford, and at the 
same time continues the practice of his profession as an attor- 
ney-at-law. He was at one time City Solicitor of Bradford. 
He was married, November 10, 1881, to Isabel Stewart,

After graduation he took the three years' course in the 
Theological Seminary at Princeton, and received the degree of 
A.M. from the College in 1876. He then supplied a Presby- 
terian church at Shannon, and a Congregational church at 
Lanark, 111., for a year, beginning January, 1878. He was or- 
dained as an evangelist by the Presbytery of Mattoon, Novem-

ply, all in Illinois: Ridott, 1879; Effingham, 1879-80; Somon- 
auk, 1881-83; Granville and Union Grove, 1883-86. After this

istered to the church of Cassopolis, Mich., two years and that 
at Morrisonville. 111., three years, and later the Presbyterian 
churches of Prairie Home, Moweaqua and Towanda. 111. This 
last is his present charge. 

Paisley — Moses we were wont to call him — has done good, 
faithful, honest work in home mission churches. 

He writes: "I have enjoyed the work of preaching the 
unsearchable riches of Christ and expect to continue my labors 
in winning souls to the Master and edifying saints so long as 
the opportunity is given me. I have always appreciated the 
advantages I had at Princeton, and am proud to be a son of 
Princeton. The Lord has been very good to me in sparing my 
life and giving me health and strength to serve him. I have 
had the privilege of meeting only one or two of our Class since

ARTHUR PELL, 1148 Dean Street, Brooklyn, N. Y., 
son of William Watson Pell and Antoinette Varick, 
was born at Hackensack, N. J., April 19, 1853. He 
studied medicine at Bellevue Hospital Medical College; was 
subsequently senior assistant in third surgical division of the 
hospital; settled in the practice of his profession in Goshen, 
N. Y. He received the degree of A.M. at our Triennial. 

He writes : " Since our twentieth celebration life has 
moved along quietly with me. I left Goshen ten years ago, 
went to Europe for a few months and then settled down to 
the practice of medicine in Brooklyn. After a few years I 
took up the special work of Insurance Examiner, and have 
been for about four years an assistant medical director of the

Equitable Life Assurance Society. My wife and both my 
children are still my best friends. My son celebrated the 
first anniversary of his graduation from Princeton when we 
celebrated our thirtieth." It may be added that the son — a 
chip of the old block — was captain of the football teams of 
1900 and 1901. 

Pell's business office is in the Equitable Building, 120 
Broadway. All the class, who wish to be " assured " of a long 
life, or of a short and merry one, had better call and see him. 

He was married May 24, 1877, to Eve Williamson, at Eliza- 
beth, N. J., and has two children: Antoinette Varick, born 
May 4, 1878; Henry Williamson, born July 5, 1881, both at

JAMES CRAIG PERRINE, son of Andrew and Eleanor 
Perrine, was born April 13, 185 1. He prepared for col- 
lege at Lawrenceville, N. J., High School, and the Free- 
hold, N. J., Institute. He entered the class in junior year and 
took a two years' optional course, his health not admitting 
of the severe studies of the regular curriculum. He suffered 
from heart disease, yet was a man of remarkable energy for 
one so seriously afflicted. He showed something of this in 
the book and stationery business, which — weak in body and) 
wholly unexperienced in the calling — he assumed in July, 1875, 
and of which he was making a growing success at the time of 
his death. Besides his regular business, the Monmouth County 
Bible Society Depository was located in his store and under 
his supervision. He was long an efficient teacher in the Pres- 
byterian Sunday School, and for a time treasurer of the cur- 
rent expense fund of the church. 

He was married at Burlington, N. J., October 17, 1878, to 
Frances M., daughter of William Gummere, of Burlington. 
A daughter, Martha, was born in August, 1879, three months 
after her father's death, which occurred from neuralgia of the 
heart, May 7, 1879.

NORMAN HAYDEN PETERS, son of Horatio Nel- 
son Peters and Emily Ann Hall, was born at New- 
ark. N. J.. June 27. 1854. 
After leaving Princeton he became superintendent of one 
of the departments of the Peters Manufacturing Company. 
Newark, of which his father was the founder. Upon reaching 
his majority he was made secretary of the company, which 
office he occupied for several years. In the fall of 1881. 
on account of failing health, he went to Minnesota, locating 
for the time in St. Paul. In the spring of 1882 he engaged in 
business in that city. But his health again failing, the cause 
being Bright's disease, in accordance with medical advice he 
determined to return east to be among friends. During the 
homeward journey. May 26, 1882, when near Philadelphia, 
while engaged in conversation with a fellow passenger, he im- 
mediately expired. 

He was married December 8. 1880. to Annie M.. daughter 
of Judge William B. Guild, of Newark. N. J.

SAMUEL WILSON PRINGLE, Auburn, Neb., son of 
George Washington Pringle and Margaret Espy, was 
born in New Concord, O., January 8, 1853. He entered 
the class junior year. He spent the first year after gradua- 
tion as a traveling agent; then entered the Western Theolog- 
ical Seminary, Allegheny, Pa. At the close of the first sem- 
inary year he received a prize for scholarship in Hebrew, and, 
at the close of the middle year, a prize of one hundred dollars 
was divided between himself and another. He graduated at 
the Western Theological Seminary in the Spring of 1877, and 
immediately took charge of the Presbyterian Church of Mount 
Pleasant, O., which he served as pastor for nineteen years. 
He had, meanwhile, received the degree of A.M. from Prince- 



PRINCETON '73 



ton in 1876. His second pastorate was that of the Westmin- 
ster Church of Pueblo, Colo., where he labored for a period of 
about five years. In September, 1901, he went to his present 
field, and is now pastor of the church at Auburn, Neb. Pringle 
has been leading the very useful life of a quiet village parson. 
He was married, June 15, 1893, to Margaret Estelle Purdy, 
in Allegheny County, Pa., and has five children : Samuel Will- 
son, Paul Victor, David Purdy, James Alfred and a fifth boy 
as yet unnamed.

HENRY WILLIAM RANKIN, 119 Macon Street, 
Brooklyn, N. Y., son of Henry V. Rankin (Princeton, 
'43) and Mary Knight Rankin, was born in Ningpo, 
China, March 8, 1851. He was prepared for college in the 
Phillips Academy, Andover, Mass. He took his freshman 
year with the class of '74 and was enrolled as a junior of the 
class of '73, taking an elective course for one year that com- 
bined the studies of junior and senior years. 

He left Princeton in 1872 and spent the two following 
years in Europe, with some philosophical studies in Leipzig. 
The next two years, 1874-76, were devoted to the study of 
medicine in the Harvard Medical School and the Bellevue 
Medical College, New York. At this time he was disabled by 



PRINCETON "73 



a cerebral congestion, which he has never been able to throw 
off entirely, and which has been followed by other ailments 
of a surgical sort, so that nothing more than odds and ends 
of work have been accomplished. He spent the winter of 
1876-77 in Japan, and then a year in light farming in Califor- 
nia. The next three years were spent at the home of his 
mother (Mrs. Robert Aikman) in Madison, N. J. 

During the following twenty years, 1881-1901, he was iden- 
tified with the educational enterprise of D. L. Moody at Mt. 
Hermon and at Northfield. Mass., in various capacities, such 
as his health permitted. He acted at first as steward of the 
two schools (Boys' and Girls'), then prepared statistics, an- 
nual reports and a Handbook of the schools, and also filled 
gaps here and there as they occurred. During ten years of 
this time he was a resident trustee of Northfield Seminary. 
He found Northfield a happy home and an opportunity of use- 
fulness, which he seized as far as his strength permitted. 
There is abundant testimony to the good he accomplished 
while there. 

While not a self-chosen work, he felt that it was provi- 
dentially assigned him and he labored in it with devotion and 
success. He says of himself that he has been going to school 
all his life, and as yet has been graduated from none ; but the 
sorrows and delights have been well balanced and a glorious 
Commncement Day is coming soon. " This whole term of 
earthly existence." he writes. " is but a school and scaffolding 
for the life and love eternal ; and it is blessed to learn faith, 
hope and charity, though at the cost of everything else that 
can be lost." 

He writes: " It is not at all likely that I can attend the 
Reunion, because I am too much out of health, otherwise it 
would give me much pleasure. I am a very poor specimen of 
the class, having been neither a graduate nor more than two 
years in college, and only one year in '73. Yet those two 



PRINCETON '73 



years in Princeton have meant a great deal to all my life, and 
no alumnus can have a more loyal or grateful memory of the 
college than I have always entertained. Greatly impaired 
health has interrupted every plan and every course of study 
that I ever undertook, and in that respect I am worse off 
than ever." 

He is now staying at a sanitarium with small prospect of 
permanent relief, and is engaged in literary work. He has 
written extensively. Among his published writings are: 
Liquor and Legislation, an article in the New Englander, 
October, 1875; The Hour of China and the United States, in 
the Bibliotheca Sacra, July 1899 ; The Facts and Literature of 
the Occult, in Nevin's Demon Possession and Allied Themes, 
1894; two pamphlets: A Pacific Voyage, with After-lights, 
1890, and Adeline Frances Pettee-Cox: A Northfield Por- 
trait, 1892; Handbook of Northfield Seminary and Mt. Her- 
mon School, 1899; Northfield, Mt. Hermon and Chicago, or 
Four Bible Schools, 1891. 

He has also given vent to his poetic gifts ; among his pub- 
lished verse is a sonnet on Theodoric Bland Pryor. On the 
whole his pen has been a very active one. He is unmarried.

ISAAC OGDEN RANKIN, Courtland. N. Y.. son of Ed- 
ward E. Rankin D.D. (Yale. '40), and Emily Watkin- 
son, was born in New York City, November 22, 1852. He 
entered Princeton from Fairfield. Conn. 

He spent the year after graduation in study and travel in 
Europe and then returned to America in 1874 and took the 
fall course in divinity in Union Theological Seminary, New 
York. He was licensed to preach in April. 1877, and after 
some missionary work went again to Europe in June of that 
year. He received the degree of A.M. at the time of our Tri- 
ennial. He studied in the University of Berlin during the 
winter semester of 1877-78, and subsequently traveled in the 
south of Europe. He preached for a time in Greenfield Hill. 



PRINCETON '73 



Conn. In May, 1880, he accepted a call to the churches of 
Nassau and East Nassau, N. Y., and was ordained in July ; in 
December, 1882, he was dismissed from the Nassau churches, 
and accepted the call of the church in Gloversville, Fulton 
County, N. Y.; in December, 1891, his health having broken 
down, he resigned his charge, intending to remove to South- 
ern California; he spent one winter in Newark, N. J., and has 
since been living on the Hudson River, in the town of Court- 
land, near Peekskill. This is his residence and voting place, 
but he is there less than half the year. 

Since 1893 he has done less and less pastoral and more and 
more newspaper work, until he has come to be attached for 
more than half the year to the staff of The Congregationalist, 
in Boston, and is constantly writing for its columns. Indeed, 
he has become a recognized and important element in the lit- 
erary attractions of that well-edited paper. Scarcely a week 
passes without some signed article of his appearing, beside the 
large number of unsigned articles that were evolved in his 
duties as editor. He has attained that high pinnacle of editorial 
ambition in having his unsigned excogitations stolen. A 
story, written by him in collaboration with another man, is to 
appear soon, first as a serial in The Congregationalist, and 
then in book form. 

He writes : " I am a member of Shawmut Church, Boston, 
always a Catholic, incidentally a Congregationalist. I don't 
know as much about a number of things as I did in 1873, and 
dogmatics is one of them. But my views of the true meaning 
of ' life in general ' are that its ideal is the loyal personal rela- 
tion to God revealed in Christ for social ends here and here- 
after. About education I am not sure my views would be edi- 
fying. The experiments Dr. McCosh tried on us were not 
successful enough with me to make me an authority. And 
politics is too big a subject to be talked about in a letter." He 
recalls the absence of elaborate ceremonial in the old days, 



PRINCETON '73 



when he says : " I have rarely had the pleasure of meeting a 
classmate since we picked up our diplomas from the floor in 
that back room in 1873." 

He was married, June 23, 1880, to Martha Clark, of Spring- 
field, Mass., and has three children: Hugh, born May 30, 1881, 
(Yale, 1903) ; Margaret, born April 22, 1886, and Laurence 
Avary, born October 20, 1887. His oldest son did the class 
credit by taking a fellowship, the James Gordon Bennett prize 
and second rank in a class of over three hundred at Yale, where 
both his grandfathers graduated.

HENRY EDWARD RICHARDS, 159 Franklin Street, 
Bloomfield, N. J., son of Henry E. Richards and Eliza- 
beth Van Winkle, was born in Newark, N. J., Sep- 
tember 15, 1853. 

After leaving Princeton he studied medicine at the College 
of Physicians and Surgeons in New York, graduating in 1875. 
He then went to Europe and studied chemistry. Returning 
home, he spent some time in the Columbia College School of 
Mines. After this, he became assistant of Professor Mayer, 
professor of Physics in Stevens Institute of Technology, of 
Hoboken, N. J. He received the degree of A.M. from Prince- 
ton in 1876. While in Stevens Institute he was elected pro- 
fessor of Natural Science in the Academic Department of the 
Newark German Theological Seminary. In 1878 the question 
of the acceptance of a professorship of chemistry in a college 
in the West came up, but was answered in the negative. This 
brought his career as a teacher to a close. 

In January, 1879, he became a partner of John N. Elmore, 
an importer of chemical and physical apparatus in New York, 
forming the firm of Elmore & Richards. Upon the retirement 
of Mr. Elmore, one of his brothers became his partner and the 
firm became Richards & Company, which became one of the 
leading houses in its line in America. In 1885, not wishing to 
spend the rest of his life absolutely engrossed in mercantile 
affairs, he retired from business and spent one year in studying 
law, giving from six to eight hours to it every day. He was 
admitted to the New Jersey Bar in 1886 upon special examina- 
tion. He formed a partnership at once with Mr. Joseph D. 
Gallagher, who was for a year a member of '75 at Princeton. 
Later, Mr. William S. Dodd, a member of '87, was made a 
member of the firm — Gallagher, Richards & Dodd. Patent 
law was a specialty with them and litigation in Federal and 
State Courts occupied the greater part of their attention, but 
they did not reject business in any department of law. 



PRINCETON '73 



He writes : " I am still practicing business and engaged in 
law. Law is much more a business and business much more a 
profession than in the days of 1873. I have had very special 
and intimate association with Mart Dennis, as he has already 
informed you." 

Richards is a trustee of Westminster Presbyterian Church, 
Bloomfield, and has been superintendent of its Sunday School 
for seven or eight years. He is, also, one of the Board of Di- 
rectors of the German Theological School, of Newark. He 
has been a good deal of a traveler, having made two trips to 
Mexico and seven to Europe, beside much meandering about 
these U. S. " The demands of business," he says, " have been 
too constant and urgent for me either to study or write much," 
yet he has produced a very thoughtful and scholarly book, 
The Mystery of Life. A Study of Revelation in the Light of 
Science. New York, 1898. 

He was married in October, 1879, to Helen Louise Van 
Liew. They have no children.

THOMAS HOFF RITTENHOUSE was born at 
Frenchtown, N. J., February 18, 1847. He was the 
son of Daniel T. Rittenhouse and Catharine Ann Hoff . 
After graduation, he entered the Baptist Theological Sem- 
inary of Chicago, where he took the full course of three years. 
He paid special attention to the study of Hebrew, in which 
he acquired very considerable proficiency. His earnest spirit 
and patient persevering scholarship caused him to be highly 
thought of by his instructors in the seminary. During one of 
the seminary vacations, he was in charge of the Baptist church 
at Weango, Wis., where his ministrations, both in and out of 
the pulpit, were most acceptable. He received the degree of 
A.M. from Princeton in 1876. At the close of his theological 
course, he returned east for a visit to his home. Several prom- 
ising fields were opening before him, and he was deliberating 
which to enter into, after a short rest which he felt that he 
much needed, when he was seized with fever and, after a short 
illness, died at Frenchtown, September 1, 1877, aged 29 years, 
6 months and 12 days. 

Thus was suddenly called away, when just ready for active 
usefulness, one whom the whole class ever regarded as a strik- 
ing example of earnest, faithful work, one whom all respected 
most highly for those solid qualities of true character which 
are wont to be crowned with success.

THOMAS CICERO RUDDELL, Baltimore, Md., son 
of William and Jane Ruddell, was born in Belfast, 
Ireland, November, 1850. 
He worked in Boston during his senior year, studied law 
at the same time and was admitted to the Bar in 1873. During 
1874 he held a position in the Boston Custom House. He 
came to Baltimore in 1876, and immediately fell in with a large 
criminal practice. 

A friend wrote for the last Record : "Ruddell went to Balti- 
more without friends, influence or means, but with a plentiful 
supply of energy, grit and Yankee shrewdness. He found the 
criminal practice absorbed by a few favored lawyers. He set 
himself to win some of it, and he has pushed his way to the 
very first rank of the criminal lawyers of Baltimore, in the ex- 
tent of his practice and the success with which he conducts it. 
He has a wife, and a one-horse chaise, as well as gold and 
glory."

ROBERT JAMES SANSON, Amsterdam, N. Y., son 
of John Sanson and Margaret K. Winter, sends the 
following interesting account of himself: 
" I am informed that I was born on the ioth day of June, 
1851, at the town of Princetown, Schenectady County, N. Y. 
My parents were Scotch farmers, rugged and thrifty, and their 
pious ambition was that each of their sons should become 
fitted for, and devote his life to, the ministry. Two, after 
graduating from Union College and Princeton Theological 
Seminary, became Presbyterian clergymen; a third son died 
as he was about to enter the sophomore class at Union in 
preparation for the ministry, and I was the only one to fail 
of the end desired by my parents." He entered Princeton 



PRINCETON '73 



from Van Vechten, N. Y. He was compelled on account of 
ill-health to discontinue his studies at the close of the first 
term of senior year. The college, however, gave him his de- 
gree of A.B., in 1874, and in 1876 that of A.M. 

His account continues : M After graduating from Prince- 
ton in '73 my health was poor for over a year, but I entered a 
clerkship as a law student in the office of Heath & Snell, of 
Amsterdam, N. Y., living the meanwhile on the old farm to re- 
cuperate, studying law and also teaching a small district school 
for one term. Having been married during my last year in 
college, I moved with my wife in the spring of '74 to Amster- 
dam, N. Y., but in the fall of the same year accepted the prin- 
cipalship of Charlton Academy, and removed to Charlton 
about September 1st of that year, and conducted that academy 
till the following June. I continued my law studies during 
that summer, and in September entered Albany Law School, a 
branch of Union University. I greatly enjoyed my work at 
the Law School, and was made Historian of my class, gradu- 
ating in May of 1876 with the degree of LL.B. During the 
time I was at the Law School I was made principal of one of 
the largest night schools in Albany, and conducted that during 
the winter season. One of my classmates in the Law School 
was Jacobs of the class of '74, Princeton. 

" On May 19th, 1876, I was admitted to practice as an at- 
torney and counselor-at-law in all the courts of the State of 
New York, and immediately removed to Fort Plain, N. Y., 
where I opened an office. I had the usual experience of a 
young attorney, and the third year of my residence there was 
made Corporation Attorney for the village. I entered some- 
what into politics during the memorable campaign of Hayes 
and Tilden, doing work on the ' stump ' for the Republican 
party during the month preceding the election. I might say 
in passing that I have been more or less engaged in 
political speaking during each campaign since that time, 



PRINCETON '73 



being known as a ' Stalwart ' Republican. After the cam- 
paign of 1880 I was appointed Assistant District Attorney 
for my county, and held the position for three years. 
In April, 1881, I returned to Amsterdam to live, having bought 
out the office of an attorney who died, and I think I can say 
with modesty, that I immediately secured a valuable practice. 
While in Fort Plain I had, in addition to my last business, 
acted as instructor of French and German in the Fort Plain 
Collegiate Institute. The second year of my residence in Am- 
sterdam I was made a member of its Board of Health, and 
continued as such for three years, during two of which I held 
the office of Register of Vital Statistics. I have continued to 
practice my profession in this city since 1881, having ' neither 
poverty nor riches.' 

" I have seldom seen a classmate since the Decennial re- 
union, but I have been instrumental in sending several young 
men to Princeton who reside in this city and vicinity, and 
through them have kept in touch with our college. 

" I have been an attendant of the Presbyterian churches of 
this city and elsewhere, and have frequently been called to 
address meetings of various kinds held under their care. On 
many occasions my services in the capacity of an 'after-dinner 
orator ' have been sought, so that it has come to be a close 
question whether I excel as an eater or a talker. I am a mem- 
ber of the following social and fraternal organizations : Arti- 
zan Lodge, No. 84, F. A. M. ; Chuctanunde Lodge, No. 100, 
Knights of Pythias; Mohawk Valley Lodge, No. 209, Ancient 
Order United Workmen, and The Fort Johnson Club of Am- 
sterdam, N. Y., being one of the Governors of the Club. 

" When I compare in my mind the Princeton College of 
1869, when our class entered her walls, with the Princeton 
University of to-day, I am proud to be counted among her 
sons. I hope to meet my classmates at the Reunion in June, 
but should I be disappointed and unable to attend, I herewith 



PRINCETON '73 



extend to each and all my heartiest greetings. Long live 
Princeton! Long live the Class of '73! " 

Sanson makes a confession: "My forehead has grown ex- 
ceedingly high, for in college I had a heavy head of hair of 
which I was somewhat proud, but typhoid fever in 1876 caused 
much of it to fall out." 

He was married to Mary E. Bates, and has three children : 
Eva, born April 4, 1873, now Mrs. Leon Chauvelot, of Brook- 
lyn, N. Y., with a daughter four years old; May, born June 21, 
1875, and Margaret A., born September 22, 1877. 

Sanson's law offices are at 67 East Main Street, Amster-

desne to cope with trusts As to education. I doubt if it is 
as thorough as it was- too much superficial cramming. 1 am 
inclined to believe that college entrance requirements, once 
too low. now go to the other extreme I believe that any at- 
tempt to compress a college course into two or three years 
would be an injury to both student and college "

DAVID SCOTT was the son of David and Mary (Bax- 
ter) Scott, and was born in Philadelphia, Pa., March 
13, 1849. When he was a youth his parents moved to 
New York City and connected themselves with the Fifteenth 
Street Presbyterian Church, of whose Sunday School David 
became a member in 1863. On June 9, 1865, he made a profes- 
sion of his faith and united with the church. Soon after he ex- 
pressed his earnest desire to become a minister of the Gospel. 
At this time he was clerk in the office of the Manhattan Gas 
Company. His pastor at first discouraged him from seeking 
the ministry on account of his entire want of education, and 
because he was at an age which would render it difficult to 
make up his deficiencies. A year later David again ap- 
proached his pastor, stating that his mind was irrevocably 
made up to be a minister. He said that during the past year 
he had been attending night schools at Cooper Union, and had 
made advances in his studies. His pastor could no longer 
oppose what seemed to be a call of God. He went to the 
high school at Lawrenceville, N. J., and at the end of two years 
was prepared for college. Dr. Hamill, writing to his pastor at 
this time, says: " I will take as many men of the same kind 
as you choose to send me. David has been a blessing to the 
school." 

In the fall of 1869 he joined the freshman class. He gradu- 
ated with high honors, taking the classical fellowship. This 
involved his spending a year in classical studies either in this 
country or in Europe. Entering the Theological Seminary at 
Princeton, he remained a year, and then proceeded to Ger- 
many, where he spent the next year at the University of Leip- 
zig. Here he gave his spare time to the study of the Oriental 
languages, having already determined to devote his life to 
the mission work in the East. He received the degree of A.M. 
from Princeton in 1876. 

Returning to Princeton in 1876, he was appointed a tutor 



PRINCETON '73 



in the college, prosecuting at the same time his studies in the 
seminary. Having finished his course he offered himself to 
the Board of Foreign Missions, was accepted and appointed 
to the mission at Teheran, Persia, with the understanding that 
he was to give himself more particularly to the production of a 
Christian literature. Mr. Scott was ordained by the Presby- 
tery of New York June 24, 1877, and having been united in 
marriage, on June 10, to Letitia Kennedy, of New York City, 
he set sail for his far-off field of labor. 

After an arduous journey, he arrived at Teheran in No- 
vember, and entered at once upon the study of the Persian 
and the Turkish languages, acting also as chaplain to the Eng- 
lish residents. In the spring of 1878, his wife having given 
birth to a son, was attacked by a dangerous and most painful 
sickness, which threatened her life. By advice of the physi- 
cians in the city, as well as of his brethren of the mission, he 
determined to bring his suffering wife home, and, after a win- 
ter's journey of almost inconceivable trial, he arrived safely in 
New York in March. Soon after his arrival he called upon his 
pastor, who congratulated him upon his manifestly robust 
health. But God's ways are not ours, for on April 2, instead 
of the suffering and delicate wife, the strong man, after a brief 
illness, was suddenly called to his reward. He had been per- 
mitted in mercy to bring his wife and child from among stran- 
gers and heathen, and deposit them safely in the bosom of 
sympathizing friends before he was called to his higher work. 

One of the most striking traits of David Scott's character 
was his persevering industry. When once his mind was made 
up that he must serve his Master in the ministry, nothing could 
stand in his way. Relinquishing a position with a respectable 
salary, he entered upon his long course of preparation, relying 
for support upon that God whose service he had espoused. 
Without any brilliancy of parts, but with an indomitable spirit, 
he mastered all the subjects which he undertook, and came out 



PRINCETON '73 



of the college and seminary a finished scholar. Perhaps this 
trait led him to that extreme devotion to his work which in a 
measure led to his early death. From the time that he entered 
the night school at Cooper Union to the hour of his leaving 
Persia, he never knew what relaxation was ; and his vacations 
at Princeton were spent as a clerk in one of our public insti- 
tutions, in order that he might lighten the burdens of those 
who were responsible for his support. 

His piety was unobtrusive, but deep and growing. This, it 
may be said, was the master passion of his life. He had many 
of the characteristics of his Scotch ancestors, and, doubtless, 
would have gone to the stake, if called to do so, as quietly as 
he went to his books. He never talked about his feelings but 
a deal about his work. The simplicity that was in Christ 
Jesus clarified his life. Throughout the whole of his college 
career he was a bright example to his fellow-students, who 
honored him because he was humble, consistent, unassuming, 
faithful, pure, earnest.

JOSHUA WILSON SHARPE. Chambersburg. Pa., son of 
Samuel Wilson Sharpe and Eliza McKeehan. was born 
at Newville. Pa.. February 8. 1851. He entered the Class 
sophomore year from Newville. 

He was admitted to the Bar of Franklin County. Pa., in 
the spring of 1875. In the fall of that year he went to Wash- 
ington. D. C and began the practice of his profession. In 
[876 his health broke down and he returned to his home in 
Cumberland County. Pa. He received the degree of A.M. in 
June. 1S76. In 1S77 he went to Minnesota in search of health 
and remained there until October: in January. 1878. he went 
south. He spent part of the winter at Aiken. S. C. where he 
met Cowen. Together they talked of college days. Cowen 



PRINCETON '73 



believed that his own recovery was but a question of time, and 
his sanguine temperament looked hopefully into the future. 

In 1882 Sharpe went to Montana, where his brother had a 
cattle ranch. He roughed it until 1884, his health showing a 
gradual improvement as the result of this mode of life. In 
October, 1884, he went abroad, combining pleasure and health, 
spending much time in Italy (the Secretary came upon him 
one day on the terrace of the old Cappucini Hotel at Amain), 
Egypt, Palestine, Constantinople and Greece. In 1885 he re- 
turned and resumed his residence in Harrisburg, Pa. In 1887, 
his health apparently being fully restored, he moved to Cham- 
bersburg, Pa., and began the practice of the law. In the 
spring of 1889 he formed a law partnership with his cousin, 
W. K. Sharpe. His letter-heads indicate that he is his own 
partner at present. 

He is a member and trustee of the Falling Spring Presby- 
terian Church of Chambersburg. He is a Republican in poli- 
tics and has held the office of solicitor for the Borough of 
Chambersburg. He is also a director of the National Bank 
of Chambersburg and its attorney. Beside these positions of 
trust he is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Cham- 
bersburg Academy and of the Wilson College for Women. 
In April, 1903, the office of Chief Burgess of Chambersburg be- 
ing vacant, he was appointed to fill the unexpired term of 
thirty-five months. So Sharpe is not leading such a quiet life 
as he thinks. 

He was married June 5, 1889, to Sarah Fleming, of Har- 
risburg, Pa.

SAMUEL JULIUS SHAW, 450 Twenty-first Street, San 
Diego, Cal., son of William A. and Sarah Connor Shaw, 
was born at Pleasant Hill, Pa., March 28, 1853. He en- 
tered '73 in its sophomore year, from Turtle Creek, Pa. 

He was occupied in reading and studying Hebrew, at Pitts- 
burgh, 1873-74; w as a student of U. P. Theological Seminary, 
Allegheny, Pa., 1874-77. He received the degree of A.M. at 
our Triennial. In May, 1875, he was offered a professorship 
in Greek, in Westminster College, Wilmington, Pa., but de- 
clined. He received license to preach April 10, 1877, from the 
U. P. Presbytery of Allegheny, and in June went abroad ; was 
present at the meeting of the Presbyterian Council, in Edin- 
burgh ; during the summer, he made an excursion through the 



PRINCETON '73 



North of Ireland and Highlands of Scotland, and traveled, in 
the fall, in Holland, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, France 
and England; passed the winter in Edinburgh, and attended 
the Theological Seminary of the Free Church of Scotland. 

Returning home, he spent seven months preaching in Iowa. 
June 10, 1879, he received a call from the United Presbyterian 
Church of Braddock, and was ordained and installed its pas- 
tor by the Presbytery of West Moreland, September 2, 1879. 
In October, 1890, he received a call to the United Presbyterian 
Church of Steubenville, Ohio, and expected to accept it; but 
his congregation and Presbytery declined to release him, and 
the former promised to build a new church if he would remain. 
This has been done at an expense of $35,000, and it was dedi- 
cated on April 16, 1893. On October 21, 1891, he had the 
honor of being elected moderator of the Synod of Pittsburg, 
and found the experience obtained in the American Whig So- 
ciety very useful. He continued serving the Braddock Church 
until November 22, 1897. The congregation had grown rapidly 
after the completion of the new church building and the instil- 
lation of a fine pipe organ. 

In 1896 his wife suffered an attack of pneumonia and was 
obliged to spend five months in Florida. She returned much 
improved. In July, 1897, Shaw made a trip to the Pacific 
coast, joining one of the Pennsylvania delegations to the na- 
tional convention of the Society of Christian Endeavor, which 
met in San Francisco. He visited the points of interest in 
Colorado, Utah, Oregon and the Yellowstone Park. The re- 
newed illness of his wife after his return caused his church to 
grant him a six months' leave of absence, that he might see his 
family settled in San Diego, Cal. 

He writes : " During my sojourn here I was invited to 
preach to a small mission congregation, under the care of the 
Board of Home Missions. It was sick and ready to die; and 
needed such careful nursing that I decided to stay and en- 



PRINCETON '73 



deavor to revive it. In the meanwhile the change of climate 
proved to be a great benefit to me as well as to my family ; for 
I found that I had recovered from the catarrh of the throat 
and nose which had caused me great annoyance and suffering 
at times. This induced me to send my resignation to the 
church at Braddock; and on April 5th, 1898, the happy pas- 
toral relation which had existed for more than eighteen years 
was dissolved." 

Thereafter Shaw identified himself with the work of the 
United Presbyterian Church on the Pacific. In 1898 he was 
elected clerk of the Synod of California. Being a commis- 
sioner to the General Assembly of his Church at Philadelphia 
in May, 1899, he took the opportunity to visit Princeton, and 
was surprised and delighted by the growth of the University. 
He added to his church duties those of a member of the Board 
of Education of San Diego, by the urgent request of its 
citizens. 

In June, 1901, he, with three clerical companions, made a 
trip to the Yosemite, with four horses and a covered wagon. 
As the result of a visit east in August, 1902, he received a 
unanimous call with an almost double salary to a church in 
McKeesport, Pa. But the fog and smoke of Pittsburgh de- 
termined him to decline the call and return to the more salu- 
brious atmosphere of California. 

During his five years on the Pacific Coast Shaw met but 
two men of '73 ; Speer, who was in search of his health, in vain 
it proved, and Moffat, who was building a house for another, 
which he accomplished with marked success. Shaw says — 
and we all know that what he says goes — that the house that 
Moffat built was pronounced by one of the best architects of 
San Diego to be a monument to the ability of our architectural 
classmate. 

Last April Shaw was re-elected a member of the City Board 
of Education for four years. He owed his ability to attend 



PRINCETON '73 



the tail end of our Reunion to his having been a commissioner 
to his Church Assembly, which met in Tarkio, Mo. It being 
only a step from there to Princeton, he came on. It was a 
pity he could not have come in time for the Class Dinner. 

He was married, October 2, 1884, to Margaret B. Robin- 
son, of Braddock, Pa., and has had four children: William 
Robinson, born January 24, 1886, died August 4, 1886; Mary 
Helen, born July 22, 1887 ; Sarah Rebecca, born September 10, 
1890, and Anna Margaret, born December 1, 1892.

DAVID WILLIAM SLOAN was born at Frostburg, 
Md., September 26, 1850, and was the son of Alexan- 
der and Sarah (Perry) Sloan. His father was a na- 
tive of Scotland, who came to America in 1841. David ob- 
tained his early education in the public schools of Alleghany 
County, Md., and later in the Alleghany County Academy. 
He was a student in Washington and Jefferson College before 
coming to Princeton. He entered our class from Lanaconing, 
Md., in the junior year. 

After graduation he began the study of law in the offices 
of ex-Governor Lowndes, of Maryland, at Cumberland ; but in 
the spring of 1874 was obliged to suspend his studies for a 
time and take charge of his father's extensive interests on ac- 
count of the failing health of the latter. In October, 1875, he 
entered the Maryland Law School in Baltimore, and at the 
same time read law with John K. Cowen (Princeton, '66). He 
graduated from the Law School in May, 1876, and began the 
practice of law in Cumberland, having his office with ex- 
Governor Lowndes. He received the degree of A.M. at our 
Triennial He carried on his professional work in Cumber- 
land until elected an associate judge of the Fourth Judicial 
Circuit of Maryland in 1895. 

Meanwhile he made two trips to Europe, one early in 1878, 
and a second and longer one from August, 1878, to March, 
1879. He was elected State's Attorney for Alleghany County 
in 1879 for a term of four years; elected for a second term in 
1887 and re-elected in 1891. The organization of the Alle- 
ghany County Bar Association in 1877 was mainly due to him, 
and he was secretary of that association from the first until 
his death, with the exception of one year, 1879. He was a 
member of many societies, among which were the Masons, 
the Knights Templar, the Royal Arcanum, the Elks and the 
Ancient Order of United Workmen. He was a director of 
the Second National Bank of Cumberland and was interested 
in the Austen & Newburg Coal and Coke companies. 



PRINCETON '73 



He was an earnest and active member of the Presbyterian 
Church of Cumberland, being one of its board of trustees. 

He was an ardent Republican — he was that in college — 
and became one of the strongest leaders of that party in Mary- 
land. He was a recognized power in the politics of city, 
county and state, and was an important factor in turning 
the state over to the Republicans in 1895. The Bar Associa- 
tion of Garrett County adopted resolutions expressive of their 
sense of loss by his death, saying among other things that as a 
judge " he displayed such a spirit of fairness, impartiality and 
judicial acumen in the decision of the causes which were sub- 
mitted to him for consideration, that he won the universal re- 
spect, esteem and devotion of the entire people." 

He died August 9, 1902, in Cumberland, of Bright's disease, 
having been ill for about eighteen months. He was buried in 
Frostburg, Md. 

He was married, November 14, 1882, at Kirkwood, Mo., to 
Mary Lamar Good, and had five children: Nannie Good, born 
February 6, 1884, who died May 16 of the same year; Margaret 
Maitland, born January 7, 1886; Fanny Swan, born January 1, 
1890; David W., Jr., born November, 1896, and Alexander 
Maxwell, born May, 1898.

JOHN EWING SPEER, son of Rev. William Speer, D.D. 
(Kenyon, '42) and Elizabeth Breading Ewing was born 
February 23, 1853, at San Francisco, Cal. He spent two 
years in the University of Pennsylvania and entered our Class 
junior year. After graduation, he spent a year in Elkton, Md., 
teaching school and studying law. The next winter he spent 
in Philadelphia at the law school of the University of Pennsyl- 
vania. In September he went to Pittsburgh to finish his stud- 
ies, and was admitted to the Bar March, 1876. He at once 
began the practice of law in Pittsburgh, residing in McKees- 
port, near that city. Princeton gave him an A.M. in 1876. 
He was married, October 26, 1882, to Cornelia Brackenridge 
Kahn, of McKeesport. In writing from Sierra Madre, Cal., to 
the Secretary of his inability to attend the Reunion of 1898, 
he said : " I have been here nearly a year seeking health. I 
had to give up practice in November, 1896. I had intended 
until lately to be at this reunion of the class, but find I can 
only write and say, Good-bye, as the next reunion is so far off 
that I can have no hopes of attending it." His forebodings 
were justified, as he died in Pasadena, Cal., February 1, 1900, 
of typhoid pneumonia, which developed into phthisis. His 
wife and one daughter survive him. Shaw writes of meeting 
him near Los Angeles early in 1898, when he seemed hopeful 
of renewing his practice.

on a branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad Co.'s line, and their 
products are wood alcohol, acetate of lime, and charcoal. He 
is a stockholder in the First National Bank, of which he was 
director from 1881 to 1887; served as attorney from 1884 to 
1888, and was president for a short time. From 1878 to 1882 
he was treasurer of the State Normal School at Indiana, and 
since the latter date has been a member of the Board of Trus- 
tees, serving as its secretary. He is a warm supporter of that 
institution and labors earnestly for its advancement. For sev- 
eral years he has had an interest in one of the natural gas 
companies and has twice been honored with the office of vice- 
president, our classmate H. W. Wilson, serving at the same 
time as president and general manager. 

He writes : " Since the publication of the last Record I 
have been following along the same lines, dabbling more or 
less in various small business enterprises, together with my 
regular work. I have devoted much of my time to the State 
Normal School ocated here, succeeding to the Presidency of 
the Board of Trustees, after the death of Mr. A. W. Wilson, 
father of Harry W. Wilson, in 1899. I am now a private 
member of the Presbyterian Church, a Republican in politics, 
without any itch for office as yet, content in my lot and at 
peace with the world." 

He was married, October 22, 1878, to Ella P. Hildebrand, 
of Indiana, Pa., and has two children: Edwin Hildebrand, 
born September 17, 1879, who was for a time in the class of

CHARLES ANDREW TAYLOR, La Salle, Colo., son 
of Alfred DeForest Taylor (Western Reserve College) 
and Susan J. Matthews, was born in Freedom, Ohio, 
June 2, 1848. He came to Princeton from Butler, Mo. 

After graduating from college, he entered Princeton Sem- 
inary, where he spent two years, at the end of which time his 
health was considerably impaired, and upon invitation from 
the Presbyterian church at St. Louis, Mich., he went there 
hoping to receive benefit from the magnetic springs. In Octo- 
ber, 1875, he was stricken with typhoid fever, and his life was 
despaired of. After a long and severe illness, he was able to 
resume his duties. He was ordained January 13, 1876. At 
the close of his engagement at St. Louis he was called to the 



PRINCETON '73 



First Presbyterian Church at Mt. Pleasant, Mich., where he 
labored about six months, at the end of which time he was 
prostrated with nervous debility. He received the degree of 
A.M. in 1876. 

In July, 1878, as his only hope of recovery, he went to 
Colorado, and was soon so far restored to health as to take 
charge of a small organization at Monument, Colo. He re- 
mained in Monument until July, 1880; then accepted the ap- 
pointment of missionary to the Moquis, making the journey 
to northeast Arizona overland in covered wagons. He erected 
buildings and a home for himself and teachers principally with 
his own hands. The Interior Department finally abandoned 
the agency, leaving the Indians without any protection. Thus, 
after three years' effort, and an expenditure of a large sum of 
money, the Church was obliged to abandon a work that might 
have been rendered efficient. He was then transferred to the 
Navajo Agency, by the Board of Missions, and put in charge 
of that school, but resigned without assuming charge. 

In 1884 he became supply for the church at Timnath, Colo., 
and was its pastor from 1885 until 1890. From 1890 to 1893 
he was Synodical Evangelist for the Synod of Illinois, from 
1893 to 1896, pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Mason City, 
111., and from 1896 to 1899, pastor at Winchester, 111. For the 
next three years he lived in Lincoln, Neb., educating his chil- 
dren and doing evangelistic and supply work. 

He writes: "Since 1902 I have been located in La Salle, 
Colo., having charge of the Presbyterian church in this town. 
I have at no time changed my Church relations. I belong to 
no political party, believing that the party should be servant 
of the individual and not the individual of the party. For 
many years I have affiliated with the Prohibition party, it 
being the only one that will permit me to declare myself 
against the blackest crime of our nation." 

He was married. May 19, 1879, to Elizabeth S. Deacon, of

" It does not seem thirty years since we bade each other 
good-bye and separated for life's battles. I feel as young as I 
did then; but twitches of rheumatism, gout, gray hairs, bald- 
ness and eye-glasses tell a different story. And now as to 
what I have been doing those thirty years? First, I studied 
law and in due time (1876) got my ' sheep skin,' and settled 
down to practice in Princeton. A great big mistake, for it's 
too narrow a field if you want to shine in legal lore; still I 



PRINCETON '73 



always had a good country practice. I have tried all kinds 
of cases in the civil calendar, and defended all kinds of crim- 
inals, from murderers down to petty larceny. I soon got into 
politics, was elected as a Democrat from a Republican district 
to the New Jersey House of Representatives. Served two 
years (1873-75) an d tne last year as Speaker. Then I was 
elected State Senator and served three years (1883-86). Voted 
to impeach a state officer (who was an Irishman) for immoral 
conduct, and that cooked my political goose and blasted my 
political ambition. Tried once for Congress, but was defeated 
in convention by seven or eight votes, which I refused to buy, 
and hence stayed home from Washington, D. C. I was Post- 
master of Princeton for four years, four months and four days. 
Was appointed by President Cleveland without solicitation on 
my part or from any one else. I understood that the object 
of my appointment was because I was a college graduate, and 
Princeton being a university town, it was thought that it 
would be pleasing to the University to have a college gradu- 
ate as the Postmaster of the town. 

" After twenty years' hard work at the law I had saved 
$50,000. This I lost in southern investments, and $50,000 
more besides, was caught in the panic of '92. I am now try- 
ing to pay my debts and recoup what I lost. I think I will do 
it if the good Lord continues my present health and life. I 
am President of the Vanderbilt Timber, Mining and South- 
western Railway Company, a corporation that is building a 
railroad 135 miles long in Georgia, and owns thousands of 
acres of finest long-leaf yellow pine timber, which we are cut- 
ting and marketing. I am also building a trolley railroad 
sixty-five miles long from Trenton to the seashore. In addi- 
tion I am practicing law, and my office is 135 East State Street, 
Trenton, N. J., where I can daily be found if any of my class- 
mates need a Jersey lawyer. 

" I sleep in Princeton, and Sundays go to hear ' little van 



PRINCETON '73 



Dyke ' preach in chapel, and ' Duff ' once in a while swoops 
down from Gotham and entertains me with a thesis on Job or 
Jacob or Moses. Jones also comes up from Baltimore. 
' Tommy ' and many others I see at the games. McLanahan 
lives close by and Dulles is always here, so I really feel as if I 
am still in college, and that is probably why I don't feel old, 
for thus living in a college atmosphere and seeing so much of 
its life keeps me full of the college spirit, and I shout and cheer 
when Princeton wins the same as I did thirty years ago. 

" The above is a bird's-eye view of my life since we parted. 
I have not immortalized the class of '73 as a great lawyer or a 
distinguished citizen, but I have tried to discharge all life's 
duties as they have been presented, and in my humble way fill 
out my life's mission." Princeton gave him an A.M. in 1876. 

He was married, January 17, 1878, to Gertrude F. Taylor, 
of Pennington, N. J., and has two children: Mabel Tilden, 
born January ax, 1879, a graduate of Vassar College and a 
teacher in the Princeton Model School, and Bessie Lee, born 
November 6, 1886, preparing for Vassar.

JOHN A. VANDERBILT, Carlisle, Pa., came to Prince- 
ton from Oakville, Pa. He must have been with us a very 
short time, since his name is not found in the catalogues 
of our college days. He went to Mercersburg College, Pa., 
after leaving Princeton, and then abandoned his collegiate 
studies for the perusal of Blackstone in some lawyer's office. 
Relinquishing law for business, he went west. According to 
the last Record, he tried Illinois for a time and then experi- 
mented in Mississippi. Then returning to his home, he en- 
gaged in business in Oakville for a time and is now living in 
Carlisle, Pa. There is no direct word from him.

GEORGE DOUGLAS VAN DYKE, Milwaukee, Wis., 
son of John Henry Van Dyke (Marshall College. '42) 
and Mary McEldery Douglas, was born in Milwaukee, 
October 31. 1853. He entered the class in sophomore year, 
from Milwaukee. After graduation he spent three years 
studying law. and has continued the practice of his profession 
in Milwaukee ever since. In 1876 he received the degree of 
A.M. He is now a member of the firm Van Dyke & Van 
Dyke & Carter, with offices at 916-926 Wells Building, Mil- 
waukee. He has been a successful lawyer. He is a member 
of the Immanuel Presbyterian Church of Milwaukee. 

He writes: "An account of myself and family appeared 
in the last Record, issued in '93. To bring it up to date re- 
quires very few addenda. I have continued the practice of 
the law and have acquired some outside interests. I have not 
sought or held any political office. I have no photograph of 
myself and do not propose to have any taken. The right of 
privacy is so recklessly invaded by the press in these days that 
it is not safe to have a photograph outstanding. My three 
children, two boys and a girl, have practically 'grown up.' 
Both boys chose Yale for their Alma Mater, but their choice 
was not mine. One graduated in the class of 1900 and the 
other expects to graduate this year." 

He was married, June 25. 1878. to Louise Lawrence, of 
Milwaukee, and has three children: Laurence, born April 7, 
1879: Douglas, born January 18. 1881. and Louise, born in 
1890.

the Rev. Dr. Henry J. Van Dyke and Henrietta 
Ashmead, was born in Germantown, Pa., November 
10, 1852, grew up in Brooklyn, N. Y., and was there prepared

At graduation in 1873 his classmates elected him for a Class- 
day speaker. The faculty gave him honors in belles lettres 
and the English Salutatory, in recognition of his general schol- 
arship. He also took the Class of 1859 Prize in English Lit- 
erature. Throughout his course he was a foremost man in 
the classroom, the gymnasium, and all class and college affairs. 



PRINCETON '73 



He taught in Brooklyn for one year, entered Princeton 
Theological Seminary in 1874, was graduated from it in 1877, 
and spent the following year in studying at the University of 
Berlin and in travel. In this period he was also, for some 
time, an editorial correspondent of The Presbyterian, Phila- 
delphia, and an editor of " The Princeton Book." He was li- 
censed in 1876 and ordained, March 19, 1879, by the Presby- 
tery of Brooklyn. 

He was pastor of the United Congregational Church, New- 
port, R. I., from 1878 to 1882, when he became pastor of the 
Brick Church (Presbyterian), New York. After seventeen 
years in this charge, he left it in 1899 to accept the Murray 
Professorship of English Literature in Princeton University. 

The principal volumes which have come from his prolific 
pen are: The Reality of Religion (sermons), 1884; The 
Story of the Psalms, 1887; The National Sin of Literary 
Piracy, 1888; The Poetry of Tennyson, 1889, enlarged, 1895; 
God and Little Children, 1890; The Bible as it is, 1893;

1895, The First Christmas Tree, 1897, and The Lost Word, 
1898) ; The Open Door (sermons), 1903. Many separate ser- 
mons, addresses, and articles have been printed. His stories, 
poems and critiques appear in Harper's, Scribner's, McClure's, 
The Book Buyer (now the Lamp), The Outlook and in vari- 
ous Church papers. 

He delivered the Master's Oration and received the degree 



PRINCETON '73 



of A.M. at Princeton in 1876. The degree of D.D. was con- 
ferred upon him by Princeton in 1884, by Harvard in 1893, 
by Yale in 1896, and by Wesleyan in 1903 ; that of LL.D. was 
given him by Union College in 1896 and by Washington and 
Jefferson in 1902. He declined the formal offer of chairs in 
Andover Seminary, Union College, and Johns Hopkins Uni- 
versity. He has been Honorary Chancellor of Union College, 
a Director of Princeton Seminary, a Trustee of Princeton 
University. He has served repeatedly as one of the Univer- 
sity preachers at Harvard, Yale and Princeton. He was one 
of the most active and influential members of the committee 
selected to propose to the Presbyterian Church amendments 
or explanations of the Westminster Confession of Faith, and 
also to prepare a short, popular statement of doctrine. He 
was elected Moderator of the General Assembly in New York 
in 1902, at which the work of the committee was accepted with 
practical unanimity. He was the poet of the Sesquicentennial 
celebration in Princeton in 1896. He has covered almost the 
entire country on lecturing tours. 

On the social side he is a member of leading New York 
clubs: The Century, The University, The Author's, The 
Art's; of the Triton, Fish and Game Club, the St. Nicholas 
and Holland Societies, the Sons of the Revolution, etc. He 
is a lover of out-door life, and a sportsman of wide experience 
and skill. As a hunter he has filled his hall with heads and 
as a fisherman, his books with tales. But his chief joy is 
found in the bosom of his happy family, as they gather about 
him in his attractive home, Avalon, in Princeton. 

This bare recital of the occupations in which he has en- 
gaged, the positions he has filled, the publications he has is- 
sued, and the public recognition he has been accorded, demon- 
strates his energy, ability and versatility. 

He was married, December 13, 1881, to Ellen Reid, of 
Baltimore, Md., a great-niece of Washington, and has had

WILLIAM WARD VAN VALZAH, 10 East Forty- 
third Street, New York, son of William Ward and 
Sarah Miles (Foster) Van Valzah, was born De- 
cember ii, 1849, at Buffalo Cross Roads, Union Co., Pa. He 
entered Princeton as a freshman from Lewisburg, Pa. He 
pursued his medical studies in Jefferson Medical College, Phil- 
adelphia, graduating in March, 1876. He received the degree 
of A.M. at our Triennial. He held the position of Visiting 
Physician to Jefferson Medical College Hospital, also Demon- 
strator of Clinical Medicine and Lecturer on Clinical Medi- 
cine; Assistant Surgeon, First Regiment, National Guards of 
Pennsylvania. He was engaged in successful practice in Phil- 
adelphia, which was interrupted by severe illness. He re- 



PRINCETON '73 



sumed practice in New York City and has gained a wide rep- 
utation as well as a lucrative practice as a specialist in chronic 
diseases, particularly of the digestive organs. It is said, and 
by the patients themselves, that Princeton owes its very much 
alive President and one of its most distinguished professors 
(our own van Dyke) to Van's medical skill. That is honor 
enough for any physician. He has made many trips to Eu- 
rope, professional and for personal reasons. 

Van Valzah writes : " It may possibly interest my class- 
mates to know that I have been very successful in my profes- 
sion, and that I am still a bachelor, with every prospect of 
continuing to be one. All has gone well with me save my 
own health. At the present time it is fairly good, but for the 
past four years I have not been able to follow my profession 
regularly."

ISAAC SMITH VAN VOORHIS, son of John S. Van 
Voorhis and Elizabeth P. Smith, was born June 5, 1851. 
His father was a graduate of Washington and Jefferson 
College in 1844, and of the Jefferson Medical School of Phila- 
delphia in 1847. Isaac joined our class in its junior year, 
coming to Princeton from Belle Vernon, Pa. After gradua- 
tion he read law with the late Theodore Cuyler, Esq., of Phila- 
delphia, and in 1875 began the practice of his profession in 
Pittsburg. He received the degree of A.M. in 1876. His en- 
thusiasm, of which he had a plenty, as we all remember, added 
to his native gifts, soon brought him success, and he built up 
a large practice. All of his working life was spent in Pitts- 
burgh. He varied its constant strain by five trips abroad and 
said that Europe was his only recreation. 

His strong interest in politics when in college will be re- 
called. He was then photographed as one of " The politicians 
of '73." But in the Decennial Record he wrote : " I aban- 
doned politics when I left college, and have never given states- 
men any advice since that date." Ten years later he repeated 
this statement, with additions, saying : " Law and a good 
wife made me forsake forever my first love, 'politics.' I am 
happy to say that a strict attention to business has proved 
more agreeable and certainly more profitable to me than a 
political career, even if successful, could ever have been. Thus 
the prophecy of Wells and Little Van proved false." 

His professional ambition and his innate passion for hard 
work led him to overtax his physical resources and in March, 
1893, he suffered a general nervous collapse, which obliged 
him to devote all his remaining energy to the restoration of 
his health. He struggled bravely against a steadily increas- 
ing weakness for nearly four years, and vainly. He died in 
Philadelphia, December 14, 1896, in the forty-sixth year of 
his age. 

He was married, April 9, 1878, in Philadelphia, to Gene- 



PRINCETON '7 



vieve G. Geib, who survives him. They had two children: 
John Smith, born April 24, 1880, and Lavinia, born January 
10, 1885. Many of his classmates will think of him as a man 
of alert mind, of a genial disposition, of unconventional de- 
portment, and of an impetuous energy that gave promise of 
the success he later achieved in his chosen calling.

HENRY FRANK WALLACE, Clearfield, Pa., son of 
William A. and Margaret A. Wallace, was born in 
Clearfield, Pa., August 8, 1852. He studied law in the 
office of Wallace & Krebs, Clearfield, Pa., i873-'75. In Octo- 
ber, 1875, he went to the Harvard Law School and took a par- 
tial course; was admitted to the Bar June, 1876. He received 
the degree of A.M. at our Triennial. 

Until January, 1884, he was a member of the law firm of 
Wallace & Krebs, Clearfield, Pa. On the 1st of January, 1884, 
the firm of Wallace & Krebs was dissolved, and the firm of 
Wallace Brothers, composed of W. E. and H. F. Wallace, was 
formed. He is at present Secretary and Treasurer of " The 
Clearfield Creek Coal Company," a corporation owning a large 



PRINCETON '73 



body of coal lands in the county of Clearfield. He is, as in 
college, a Democrat and a Presbyterian. 

He writes : " My time since the last Record has been 
taken up principally in the practice of my profession, as a 
member of the firm of Wallace Brothers. There has been no 
change in my religious belief or in my political views. I have 
been a trustee of the Presbyterian Church of Clearfield since 
1877 and secretary of the Board all that time. [That church 
evidently knows a good trustee when it sees one.] I have 
had no great political honors, having held only some local 
offices." 

He was married, November 5, 1884, to Minnie P. Bridge, 
of Clearfield, Pa., and has had seven children: Frederick B., 
born December 28, 1886, died January 27, 1887; Robert Bridge, 
born June 2,1888: Henry Ellerslie,born March 10,1890; Gerald 
Frank, born February 15, 1892; William Andrew, born Sep- 
tember 15. 1894: Raymond Laird, born September 25, 1896.

i, was Lorn May iy, 1853, ' n Allegheny, Pa. He 
was prepare! for college in private schools in Philadelphia and 
Brooklyn. An accident and subsequent illness compelled him 
to hid adieu to the 'lass of '73 in the middle of the freshman 
year. He joined '74 as a junior and graduated with that class, 
taking the classical fellowship. After graduation he became 
B teachei in the public schools of Wyoming, near Cincinnati; 
and from 1875 to [88l, in the Hughes High School, Cincin- 
nati, after which he was principal of a classical school at Mor- 
ristown, N. J. From this he was called to be Giger Professor 
of Latin in Princeton College in 1883. In 1902 he was made 



PRINCETON '73 



Dean of the Graduate School, still continuing his work as a 
teacher of Latin. 

He has become a recognized authority on educational ques- 
tions, particularly on the much-mooted subject of the place of 
the classics in a college curriculum. His voice has been fre- 
quently heard on this theme in many parts of the land. The 
extraordinary brilliance of the Sesquicentennial celebration of 
1896 was largely due to his planning and executing. His 
published works are: An edition of Terence, 1888; the Gro- 
lier edition of Richard de Bury's Philobiblon, 3 vols., 1889; 
Alcuin and the Rise of the Christian Schools, 1892; a Latin 
Grammar, 1902, beside numerous articles on educational and 
classical subjects. His friends know him as an artificer of 
verse, grave and gay, mostly gay. In 1902 he composed both 
words and music of what has proved to be one of the Univer- 
sity's most popular songs, The Triple Cheer. He received the 
honorary degree of Ph.D. from Princeton in 1883, that of 
LL.D. from Lafayette in 1897, an d that of D. Litt. from Ox- 
ford in 1902.

HARRY WILLIAM WILSON. Indiana. Pa., son of 
Andrew W. and Anna (Dick) Wilson, was born in 
Indiana. Pa.. August c6, 1854. He entered '73 in the 
sophomore year. 

After graduation he engaged in general merchandise and 
dry-goods business. Later he became interested in the oil 
and gas business in Pennsylvania, Kentucky and Texas. He 
was at Beaumont. Tex., during the great oil boom, which he 
describes as the wildest speculation of the kind the country 
has ever known. He is a director and president of the Indi- 
ana County Gas Company, a most successful natural-gas con- 
cern; and he was at one time interested in coal lands in Penn- 
sylvania and in West Virginia. He was twice chairman of 



PRINCETON '73 



the Democratic county committee, represented the 25th con- 
gressional district of Pennsylvania on the Hancock electoral 
ticket, and was a member of the Democratic state committee. 

A classmate sends the following, which the Secretary is 
glad to print, without asking Wilson's consent : " There came 
a time, when the business of himself and his father became 
involved and it was necessary to make an assignment, which 
was done and the matter compromised at fifty cents on the 
dollar. Harry took the business and about three years ago 
paid the other fifty cents in full with interest up to the day 
he mailed the checks. This was, of course, only right, but 
how rarely is it done ! " 

While unable to attend the recent Reunion, he was a gen- 
erous contributor to its expenses. 

He was married, January 9, 1883, to Maggie M. Patton, of 
Kittanning, Pa., and has two children: Harry W., born Au- 
gust 28, 1886, and Margaret Patton, born January 28, 1889.

Presbyterian ministry, spending two years of his theological 
course m McCormick Theological Seminary, then the Theo- 
logical Seminary of the Northwest, in Chicago, and a part of 
his third year in Auburn Seminary. He was ordained and

admitted to the Bar in December, 1873 ; but he soon abandoned 
this line of life and became an oil broker and has apparently 
been quite successful. He writes : " Taking it all in all, I 
think the world is treating me fully as well as I am treating

After graduation he began the study of law in Newark, N. J., 
attending at the same time the Columbia Law School. After 
October, 1875, he gave all his time to the Law School, from 
which he graduated in May, 1876. In June of the same year 
he received the degree of A.M. from Princeton. He at once 
settled in Newark for the practice of law, and there he has 
remained ever since, building up a very successful practice. 
His law offices are at 810 Broad Street, Newark. At last ac-

palian. For aught known to the contrary he is all three yet.

Stevens ; the firm name is Woodruff & Stevens. For over six 
years last past I have been counsel for the Township (now 
City) of East Orange. My residence is at 12 Hawthorne 
Avenue, in that city. The world has dealt fully as kindly 
with me as I deserved, and probably more so. It has been 
my fortune to have been engaged in some litigations of im- 
portance, but none of them were calculated to be the means 
of resulting in anything beyond a mere local reputation as, at 
least, an ordinarily safe practitioner." 

He says further, although not for publication: 

" You have had the assurance to suggest that I will never 
look younger than now and not to mind even if I do begin to 
look old. You have forgotten that the last time we met you 
said that ' I was the youngest-looking member of the class 
and did not look any older than when I left college ' ; as a mat- 
ter of fact you know that I do not appear as old as I did then, 
but that I am growing younger every day and expect to for 
many years to come. It is only the venerable sinners of the 
class who embraced theology who have been prostrated by the 
ravages of time: the rest of us will always be boys, and even 
if some of our heads do grow white you will please remember 
that the blossoms are those of springtime and we are just be- 
ginning life." 

He was married, February 12. 1885. to Carrie W. Cowdin, 
and has had three children: Mary Green, born July 22, 1886, 
died February n, 1892; Frederick, born March 4, 1888, died 
September 6. 1888; Katherine, born May 4, 1890. 



PRINCETON '73 




GEORGE RIDDLE WRIGHT, Wilkes Barre, Pa., son 
of Hendrick Bradley Wright (Dickinson College, 
'29; and Mary Ann Bradley Robinson, was born in 
Wilkes Barre, Pa., November 21, 185 1. 

He began the study of law in Wilkes Barre in September, 
1873, and was admitted to the Bar, June 77 1875. He entered 
upon the practice of his profession in Wilkes Barre and has 
stayed there. He received the degree of A.M. at our Trien- 
nial in 1876. 

He writes : " I am still a member of the legal profession 
— though no longer an active practitioner; reside where I have 
always lived; am an antiquated bachelor; attend the Episco- 
pal Church; vote the Democratic ticket, when the nominees 



PRINCETON '73 



are honest and intelligent men ; declined the nomination, which 
was equivalent to an election, for a seat on the bench of this 
county, as well as Congressional, State Legislature, etc., nom- 
inations; have been president of some, and director in other 
corporations; published one or two pamphlets, and delivered 
some lectures and addresses." 

The class must regret that he did not allow himself to be 
pushed into one or more of the above-mentioned offices, for 
the glory of '73. 

He adds : " For twenty years after graduation, my friend, 
the ' Rat,' and I did not fail once, to weekly send a letter each 
to the other. Not even the two great oceans interrupted the 
sending of these weekly missives. I was one of the incorpora- 
tors, and for the first five years of its existence president, of 
our local ' United Charities.' This honor, if it may be termed 
such, affords me more pleasure, and instills greater pride than 
the little else I have accomplished, save that of thus far hold- 
ing the confidence and respect of my friends and associates." 

The Secretary is still in arrears, and always will be, to 
Wright for the many times, nearly thirty years ago, that he 
drove his sleigh around to the Washington Street Grammar 
School at four o'clock and took a much be-deviled school- 
teacher out for a bracing sleigh ride. 

His offices are at Room 73, Coal Exchange, Wilkes 
Barre, Pa. 



LETTERS FROM THE CLASS BOY 

Hotel Richardson, 
Dover, Del., May n, 1893. 
Rev. G. S. Burroughs: 

My Dear Sir — Your letter is received, asking for a short 
sketch, giving any particulars of myself that would be of in- 
terest to my father's classmates. 

Until a year ago, I attended school at the Georgetown pub- 
lic schools. I then came here, taking the position as clerk 
in the Hotel Richardson. I have been learning telegraphy, 
but desiring something more lucrative than the position of an 
operator, I have been using my best efforts to obtain a posi- 
tion on an engineering corps of the Pennsylvania Railroad, 
and through the kindness of influential friends, hope soon to 
succeed. I have often read the Records of my father's class, 
being the class boy of '73. Naturally, the desire has burned 
within me that I might have carried out his desire and made 
his Alma Mater mine, but such desire had to be suppressed. 
I early learned, " Life is real, life is earnest," and that labor, 
not study, must be my position. When only four years old, 
I was deprived of my father's care and guidance. I can 
scarcely remember him, but those who can recall his form and 
face, say I am not only in name, but in personal appearance, 
his counterpart. Very Sincerely Yours, 

JOHN E. PARKER, JR. 

Under date of October 6, 1903, the Class Boy writes: 

" A short time after the Twenty-Year Record was pub- 
lished I secured a position with the Pennsylvania Railroad, 
which I held until September, 1894, when through the kind- 
ness of Dr. Burroughs and several others of the class of '73 I 
found it possible to enter Wabash College. After leaving 



PRINCETON '73 



Wabash in the spring of 1896 I located in Indianapolis for a 
time, and in June, 1897, I accepted a place with The Ladies' 
Home Journal, where I have since been. 

" I was married in June, 1902, by Dr. Addison Henry, of 
Princeton Presbyterian Church of this city, and while I have 
done only fairly well in a business way, I have been very suc- 
cessful matrimonially. 

" I assure you that I am proud to be the ' Class Boy ' of '73, 
and my one great regret has been that it was denied me to be a 
Princeton man in reality as I am in feeling. 
Sincerely yours, 

JOHN E. PARKER, 
3740 Powelton Avenue, Philadelphia, Pa.
